[4e][OOC] Clash of Steel [13th level]

With two leaders, I am leaning more towards the glass-cannonish fighter|ranger hybrid rather than the eladrin eldritch knight (and trying to avoid the temptation of using the elf thief anyway, as she is more skill than stealth based). I will try to get something up tomorrow.

Of note, I have an insider account, but cannot get the character builder to work on my computer, so I will be posting a text-based writeup.

I'll probably end up creating a dnd4e and pdf then.

So I had this thought

Befit my guest star idea and the backstory I have...

my introduction should be like striking the last blow in a fight.... just seems cool.

Oh, so, the usual Sixth Ranger intro. And then a couple of episodes in you'll be getting trounced by the bad guys to show off how tough they are?

Sorry, I'm a troper. Don't click that link if you don't have time to waste xD

Err... there was never an all-arcane restriction; martial (as per our friendly warlord) and shadow have always been allowed.
