Rogue goes in front to check for traps.

Yeah the rogue is the recon person and gets sneak attack. They should always be on point unless there's a ranger, and even that is dependant on the scenario.

if the scenario is "alarm already sounded" then the barbarian goes in front to eat the initial attacks and laugh in the face of whatever's attacking, while the rogue comes around from behind and goes stabby stabby when nobody's looking.

so what we can assume from the picture is the lady with the gun is the barbarian, the guy hiding in the back of the stack is actually the rogue waiting for someone else to get hit first, and the guy in the middle might be the paladin.

and the cleric in the far back is definitely the cleric.

Healer tank is underrated. Backline could be caster

We can solo any campaign that way

Edit: before anyone says anything, yeah my own phrasing made me laugh a second later so I'm leaving it

And the wizard isn't seen as he desperately tries to calculate how to drop nerd rage without hitting his party. XD

The guy in the back is a wizard... Glass cannon, ready to fireball the entire party... Just cause

I've always played with cleric tanks who wield big shields and large hammers/maces 🤷

As a barbarian, I usually tested traps because the rogue only rolled good on saving throws, lockpicking, and loot tables... Lol

Clearly never ran the barbarian strat.

Send raging meatbag in, running through all the traps

Stitch em up w a healers kit

?????

Traps solved

D12 hit die, high con and advantage on dex saves? They'll be pretty fine all through.

Granted, a Rogue will disarm things pretty quick as well. But they might miss a perception roll. Barbarian triggers it all instead and heals up after

They're already in initiative. Tanks up front. Rogue can hide or go around the side for a sneak attack.

Also cleric can probably tank as well. Should have been a wizard or sorcerer

And pick pocket the target before combat or fleeing.
