it hardly takes away ''almost all of your tactical options''. you seem to blame enchanters
for a lot of your feelings of inadequacy. well, why weren't you chaining. oh you had a ranger.
well, what does that have to do with the enchanter, or casters at all for that matter? there were
a few different options that people on this board suggested in terms of tactics, but you seem to
either dislike them, or think they aren't good enough, or maybe you just ignored them, i dunno.

swing weapons? maybe you *would* be more suited for the role of a real tank
instead of a bard.
