The with the right at wills a swordmage also actually almost a controller (short range minion wacker). I fact, in a certain sense I think they have better control that the battlemage build. (They have enemy only at-will bursts...).

The more I think about it I really think that rushing the swordmage out in the FR book was a way to deal with the shortage of defenders and controllers (we actually have three wizards here... but I've seen some groups, including my KotS group, that haven't had controllers... ).

Yeah... considering they are a hobgoblin rogue, a hobgoblin warlord, and a minotaur cleric... it took a feat to have a human fighter only slightly tougher
Good gaming!

I am working on my character: Caesar Secundus, a human warlord/warlock from the Imperium, bent on the destruction of the elitist Eladrin rule and the creation of a proper democracy, bringing humans and half-elves into their rightful places in the Imperium.

Apropos of absolutely nothing whatsoever, did we ever get around to deciding what to do about PvP?

Note: You may only activate the "Hostile" option while in town. A character lower than level 9 cannot be hostile. Also, upon declaring hostility any Town Portal you have cast will disappear. Further, hostiles may no longer use a Town Portal cast by another player.

Heh. That could be interesting.
Do you plan on connecting the character to the Veritas in any way?

Not directly.

He is a member of one of the few highly educated upper class human families, so has had lots of experiece at least witnessing the politics of the land. During a party for the senate types, his mother was raped by a senator, resulting in the birth of his half elf brother who was quickly shipped off to live with a distant cousin in order to hide the shame. His elder brother is believed to be dead, killed while serving as an officer during an expedition in the Imperium's service.

Caesar has no problems with the concept of the Imperium and the military conquests of old, which at least appears to be the primary concern of the Veritas. Rather he is primarily concerned with the destruction of the current senate and the creation of equal rights for all races within the Imperium.

There is some overlap in their causes, which may at some point be of use, but I will simply leave it as a possible hook and see what comes of it.
