So in one of the games I'm playing I have a soon to be level 5 Paladin with a great big Falchion and so far it's working great, possibly a little bit too great - not all the characters are particularly well optimized. I'm looking for advice on how I can tweak my Character to Synergize with the other players to make the party greater than the sum of it's parts.
One idea is to help the Ninja get more sneak attacks
a) Get Intimidating Prowess & Cornugon Smash then perhaps Furious Focus and Dreadful Carnage and Persuade the Ninja to get Shatter Defences chain?
b) Get Outflank, and ask the Fighter and Ninja to do so too. One concern is I'm currently clanking around in half plate which slows me down and makes setting up flanks harder.
What else can I do? The fighter seems pretty effective but he's not as durable as me (no LoH), in a few levels I'll be able to cast Shield Other on him but not yet. Are there any feat synergies we could set set up that would help him? I'm particularly wondering about team work feats bur I rarely see those discussed.
If it helps we're expecting a long period in the underdark next.
