thanks, scatter and dplax. that's good advice.

i brought the ninja along to help clean up the stragglers that get through the triple bishop wall of death. but i hadnt really considered their role as a meat shield, thinking of stealth. my setup has the ninja in front, alone, and the three bishops in the center. no one is on the flanks, but if someone gets hurt, i figure i can fan out across the middle and put the injured one in the center until they're healed, and then cycle around as needed.

the bishops arent using extended weapons, but all three are learning mace, so once i get access to some extended maces i might change the approach. all three are throwing, though, and i expect that to be their primary non-magic attack.

regarding reflexion, i wont get it with my current build strategy. it will be interesting to see if the additional attacks/swings/initiative/hit/pentrate bonuses of building all three of dex/spd/senses compensates for the lower AC through the mid/late game.
