It was a free for all, 6rounds of prep (randomize via a d6) Witch was going on the defensive from the Oracle *my character*.

As posted by Flynn, the first several rounds where the "toe in the water" my prep was earth glide summon few defensive elementals to defend against the Summoner, spell resist, stone skin...

my first round of the accual combat was quickened earthquake *as per the final revelation* and storm of vengance. and tryin to rid my self of the earth elemetals the summoner brought to the table. Once the elementals where gone, I had planned to go after the eidolon, but to my dismay the witch's familiar, now a copper dragon was diggin its way to my character. So I changed my focus from the eidolon to the the familiar. Had it on the ropes and was about to Head after the Witch, when again the summoner brings in more earth elemetals. Now with earth glide in mind, the copper dragon retreating, earth elementals advancing, again I changed my focus. In hind sight, if I would have remained focused on one rather than bouncing around. Things could have gone a little faster.

I had looked over most of the classes, accually assisted in the build of the cavalier. And out of all of them the only one I was truly worried about was the summoner. Because he could bring earth elementals that could get to me.

Now mind you that damage from the cavalier is intimidating yes, but my over all plan was to let him deal with most of the others while i sat back casted large aoe spells like earthquake, and storm of vengance, and possibly elemental swarm *casting time on that one made it rather inconsievable* Once the other where dead my plan was to use destruction on the cavaliers lance, and steal breaker skin on his melee weapons when he attacked. Stone skin to soak the damage up. Rightious Might, Divine Favor, Divine Power to melee like a fighter with a falchion that was spell storing *inflict serious* and flaming burst.

The summoner's dominate monster, unfortunatly messed that up and I was trying to remain in character *didnt know he was dominated as I was earth gliding* using my earth glide to coax him toward the summoner and his eidolon. Now if and when they got near, if an attack would not have happened I would of asked to make a spell check and dispelled the dominate. But we had been at it for roughly 6hours+ between arguments, and verifying spells and abilities.

One of the arguments was accually mine about the use of an attack of opportunty. Being if a bite attack, leading to a swallow *grapple attack* could be done on an attack of opportunity, as free actions can only be done during your turn. But it was a pointless argument because of the size increase from rightious might, so I *we* wasted more time resolving the argument that didnt happen anyways.

It was interesting battle. Fairly evenly matched over all, I see some minor adjustments to a Stone Oracle, Cavaliers damage calculations, and the summoners Eidolon. But I have yet to experience the Inquistor, as that was one of the ones i didnt look over.

Also I know the PC that played the witch, would have added a few spells to make their touch attacks ranged *spectral hand* would have impacted the session greatly.

I would rather see a bump in the utility of some of the revelations, rather than an increase in spells.

Yes I would agree that the oracle is underpowerd to start but so are Sorcerers... mind you with the correct combo of curse and foci you can have a oracle that could be untouchable in a combat situation with the exception of one spell. that combo is curse:deaf focus:stone with the revelations crystal sight and earth glide... which means you can be under ground casting on your party as well as enemies without being touched except that one spell "move earth" Yes I agree there should be more spells available to choose from like the cleric has domains.. IE access to apropriate spells that fall in line with the focus not just tne bonus spells. but over all it seems fairly balanced caster type just using divine spells rather than arcane. but with in the class the stone would overpower all after 7th lvl on a ground based fight.
