Talk:A Player's Guide to Roles in the Party (3.5e Guide)

Ratings

	This a well-written guide which can serve as an useful tool for players and GMs. I like the parts where it explain several important tactics like Zone Control and such, as the PHB does not to my memory, ever touch the subject. It could use a little more homebrew stuff, but otherwise cover things nicely.

	I love this page, very insightful for newer players who don't read between the lines in the PHB.

This isn't actually an optimized character build, what with not being a character build in the first place -- and it seems to be messing with the OCB navigation page. Is there a better location for this? --Quantumboost 20:46, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Other might work better. I'll wait for ghosts 2cp before I move it though. - TarkisFlux 21:46, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

A few concerns with changing it to "others"; first, I don't want it to be miscellaneous and lost--I personally think that it's a good primer that virtually all newbies should read when they begin to understand party dynamics. Secondly, it has everything to do with optimization--it might not be a build, but it certainly belongs on the optimization page. I could see creating a new category called "CharOp Guides" or somesuch (I could also put the basic combat rogue guide there), but until something else is done, I don't want it removed from the charop page on the wiki. --Ghostwheel 23:12, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

The thing is, there *isn't* a "CharOp" page on the Wiki. There's an Optimized Character Builds page, but this *isn't* one, no matter how optimization-related it is. I could see something like "articles" being added, or adding a list of links from the Optimized Character Builds page (and it being renamed "Character Optimization"), or having this moved to a user-page and linked to from somewhere else - hell, even the Main Page until an appropriate section is created. But it doesn't belong in "Category:Optimized Character Builds" any more than it belongs in "Category: Monster".

I can understand not wanting a valuable resource for newbies to be invisible (albeit temporarily), but having it listed with the Optimized Character Builds is a back-asswards way of preventing that. --Quantumboost 23:23, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

It's not a specific build though, and shouldn't be listed with builds. I don't care if it's on the same page as them though... so solution in progress. Need a minute. There, new table for optimization guides has been added, and the sorta builds / guides have been moved to it. - TarkisFlux 23:29, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
