#1 thomascannon Aug 15, 2009 10:33:35	so my group is starting d&d. ill give you a run down of my party, and if you could, i need input on stuff. Dwarf Fighter (hammer and sheild) Dragonborn Warlord (Sword and shield) Halfling Rogue Shifter Druid Human Sorcerer And possibly a warden now looking at the warlord and the fighter, lets say fighter goes before warlord. on fighters turn, i attack and mark creature A. on the warlords turn, he uses commander's Strike on target B, and selects me to attack. can i also mark target B, and have 2 targets marked till the end of my next turn? with this party, what other powers can work well together? any input would be much appreciated

As for other synergies, well... to be honest, there's tons. 4e is BASED off synergy. But one that stands out to me right now is that your party rogue is probably an artful dodger. That being the case, s/he has crazy AC against Opportuniy Attacks. So if that rogue just walks past whatever you have marked to get into a flanking position, if the monster risks the Opportunity Attack, it'll probably miss AND you get a free attack on it yourself from your class feature!
