D'oh! Fixed.

Good with Savik's spot in the marching order as well.

I agree with Nuke that the Gordon the ranger should be in the front row with Bran the dwarf.

We'd have to put Glogs in the rear, then, as a guard. There aren't any particular skills Gordon has that makes him more suited to be on point underground, are there? My thinking was that it would be good to give him a break from being on point when we're underground so he can be refreshed to do it when above ground.

Was just thinking of the btb ranger-class surprise bonuses/caveats. When ready for action, a ranger surprises opponents 50% of the time (3 in 6) and is only surprised 16.66% of the time themselves (1 in 6) in comparison to no adjustment for a straight fighter class. That could be huge, especially when you know you have an enemy or baddies ahead.

But your point of order about giving Gordon a break so that he's not always going first is noted, Al. Just as an aside, there are other party members that can scout and stealth, such as Ulf and Savik for instance. There are btb racial surprise adjustments for certain races in non-metal armor that could be considered a boon as well. My 2 rusty coppers...

I was just offering because of the surprise bonus, indoors as well.

Feel free to change the order as desired. Was just throwing something out there to move the game along because nobody else said anything.

Makes me no never mind. Would prefer to keep the healer towards the back, anyway...

OK, so I'm flip-flopping Glogs and Gordon in the marching order. Gordon is now on point with Bran, and Glogs is your rear guard.

Everyone cool?

Choo got it.
Lot less messy in the back.
