I'm pretty sure hes giving us 3 free items. with 1500gp, we wouldn,t even be able to afford 1 6th lv item
Yes, 1 level 7, 1 level 6 and 1 level 5 item and 1500 gp for other stuff.
I can see there are like 20 strikers already, so I'm probably going to change character to a defender or leader type, just so there may be those too and just not all damage.
Jemal, I could change my character to defender if yo like. No need for change in background.
I think the character is cool enough to be played. Defender or otherwise.
What I really want to try since I read it is a warforged fighter using stuff from the dragon pdf.
Sledge, a big waforged, clad in heavy component armor, using a warhammer and a shield.
Build to help an evil tyrant to oppress a small village, the near death of a little human girl reached his conscience and forced him to rebel. Freeing the adventurer group from prison, he first helped them to overthrow his former master and later joined them, fighting for freedom and good.

"Trust me? No... I wouldn't do that if I were you."
Backstory:
Spoiler:
<nameless> was raised with a bunch of other kids communally by a group of cultists. He had no name because the cult taught that to have a name was to have worth and that they were inherently worthless. The cultists were involved with summoning a powerful demon to the world (an extended ritual involving a massive eldritch machine and years of rituals and sacrifice). <nameless> was one of the cogs in the eldritch machine. The cult was eventually defeated by the party and the machine disabled (as its living components, the cultists, were no longer present).
<nameless> trailed the party on their next quest and attempted to revenge himself on the party's aging Paladin, Gerard the Gray. Things didn't go as planned, however, as Gerard expertly confounded his assassination attempt and took the boy prisoner. Sensing his destiny, however, Gerard took a soft hand on the boy and attempted to rehabilitate him.
In the days the followed, Gerard imparted upon <nameless> his outlook on life in the service of Bahamut. <nameless> pretty much thought that Gerard was full of it but as the elderly paladin kept him fed and as <nameless> quickly learned that every member of the party was way out of his league, he stuck around and bided his time.
A few weeks later, in the party's final battle with the lich, Gerard sacrificed himself to save <nameless>'s life; his soul being devoured in spectacular fashion. The event shook <nameless> to his core. Why had the old man sacrificed himself to save a worthless, damned soul like himself? In the aftermath he took Gerard's teachings to heart and decided he would use the old paladin's code of honor as a compass in his formerly directionless world of morality.
Following the battle but prior to destroying the phylactery, <name> took up one of Gerard's holy icons and hung it around his neck on a chain to remind himself of everything the paladin tried to teach him in the short time they knew each other. The rest of the party may or may not trust the boy, but that doesn't concern him; he's out to prove himself to the lost soul of the dead paladin, come what may.

Just an observation, but in my PHB the Twin Strike power doesn't give you any damage bonus, just 1[w] damage per attack.
You are correct sir. With that power you (or I as it were) don't add any damage bonus for ability modifiers. The damage I added is from feats and the weapon's enhancement bonus. The bonus from feats is static so long as I am meeting the prerequisites of the feats I believe and the enhancement bonus is part of the weapon's damage naturally (meaning you apply it whenever you apply weapon damage). I apologize that I didn't explain it thoroughly in my initial character sheet up above.

Background
The third daughter of one of the realm's nobles, Keira grew up to a life in privilege. Originally she dedicated herself to Bahamut similarly to her parents, yet as she grew into puberty her loyalties shifted. As she found her calling in life it was in service of Sehanine, the goddess of love. She became a holy champion to Sehanine's cause and became a part of the Royal Guard.
Keira has a fondness of playing matchmaker, though she has still to find her one true love (though she has had several potential true loves). When Princess Saundra fell in love with the prince of a neighboring hostile realm, she was encouraged by Keira. When the two later married and brought peace to the realm, Keira proclaimed herself as Royal Matchmaker for her involvement.
Despite the peace brought to the realm, the King was angered by Keira aiding Saundra, thereby undermining his own authority. But Keira was quite popular amongst his nobles and even in his own family (in particular amongst the younger generation), which prevented him from dismissing her directly. Instead he sent her on a series of quests. It was during one of these she encountered a band of adventurers.
Eventually Keira resigned from the Royal Guard and became a full-time adventurer and heroine, working with these adventurers to save the world more than once. The last one didn't go as planned though...

Illian was raised in an elf village situated near to an entrance to the Feywild. He's had close contact with powerful fey entities since very young, and this is clear from both his appearance and his powers. He's a well-built, 5'9" tall half-elf, exceptionally beautiful with his long light-brown hair and striking green eyes. Illian is of gentle nature, but will not suffer any restraint to his personal freedom, and will often feel deep melancholy, and definitely wanderlust. Indeed, his character was always regarded as closer to the Eladrin fey lords than to his elven peers, as capricious as a fey. But Illian is half-human, too, and when his desire for solitude ends he needs the warmth and comfort of friends. He's approximately 120 years old, but he's been lost in the Feywild and its Underdark for almost three decades, so he's lost the exact count. He's built his fame fighting countless battles with Fomorian rulers and bound pacts with powerful Ghaele lords. He then managed to escape the curse that had imprisoned him out of the Material Plane thanks to the help of his current group of fellows. Illian is normally never without his magical lute, but when he wakes up he's apparently lost it and is now whining like a little kid among the laughters of his companions.What not everyone knows is that the instrument is a powerful artifact too...
DM
There's no perform skill in the phb yet, but i would like him to be able to play and sing -indeed, if there was a bard class out already that would be the perfect multiclass. About the lute, my idea is that Illian was made a guardian of a powerful artifact in the form of a musical instrument by som powerful eladrin feywild lord, and is in despair to recover it. Thought it may well be a future hook....too lame?

Jemal would you consider allowing a wizard focused on the illusionist spells/powers recently released by WotC?
It'd fit well with the sort of untrustworthly stuff people think of when they think of Verity.
maybe I should just submit and see, hm?

...disquieting...
There was no end to his patience and endurance. He played day and night, his obsession was somewhat disquieting. It was less as if he were playing to dispel gloom or beguile tedium than as if he were giving himself up to the fangs of gaming devils."
Kawabata Yasunari - The Master of Go
Was rethinking the whole illusion magic thing, since it's a bit away from the original concept, in favor of the corrupted warrior.(i.e. a warrior tainted by fiendish power) so was going to go warlord/warlock or warlock/world, but I think we have one warlock already and another warlord/warlock.
And I see no controllers... :/ So I'll shift gears a bit and follow the illusionist path. I can rp my magic as being a gift from the Unseen Lord, right?
Build coming soon.

Is it OK to say that the group (accidentally) freed Verity from the prison of his mind during an adventure where they thwarted the Unseen Lord's minions?
And, after hiding in a monastery, getting kicked out he was tormented again by dark dreams and came to get them to help (b/c nobody else believed him).
Doesn't have to be an important adventure for the group particularly.
About 90% done. Still need magic items.
Background: Verity Thronble; The famous traitor v2 (now with even more angst)
Until 20 years ago the name Thronble was synonymous with honor, tradition and dignity. A small clan of nobles the Thronble's controlled a small keep that stood on top of a gateway to some dark realm; in the name of their grim duty the keep was called the Strongfast. They were not all religious (though the patriarch and 1st born of each generation were invariably paladins) but each and every one was (at least perceived to be) a hero of the people. Even those that weren't powerful personally usually made their mark on society in some sort of beneficial way (as a poet, or a priest at a troubled church, or fair judge, or as a wise adviser to a lord of greater standing).
All except Verity, who excelled in nothing and seemed to have been born rotten and demanding. He didn't seem to be a Thronble at all, and his incompetence when compared to his dashing sisters and devout brothers ate into his already worm-ridden heart.
And he would ultimately prove everyone right and betray the trust of all who believed him. For in return for the promise of power, and the chance to eclipse all of his siblings Verity betrayed his family's trust to the dark creature bound beneath their keep, the Unseen Lord.
Now the name Thronble is synonymous with traitor of the worst sort (think "Benedict Arnold"). Verity Thronble's grasping betrayal led to the family's utter destruction and the destruction of Strongfast Keep at the hands of the Unseen Lord's reality warping magics and horrific servants; the Unseen Lord, himself betrayed Verity, but left him alive trapped in a an illusionary prision of the mind.
For years he lived like an animal in his family's ruined keep, assaulted on all sides by illusions left behind to torment him.
After the group freed him (only because the needed answers about the details of the assault) he was left humiliated and profoundly regretful. Only fear of where he would go when he died kept him from suicide.
He became a monk for a time, hiding his identity, but once he used his powers to drive off an attack on the monastery he found that he understood illusionary magic and magic in general, to a degree undreamed of by any but an experienced wizard.
It seemed that the Unseen Lord had fulfilled his part of the bargain, granting Verity the power that he once craved.
Denied a place even among the monks he found himself wracked by visions of the Unseen Lord's attacks and went to the only people who would speak to him, the other members of the party. Convincing him of his sincerity he was ultimately instrumental in turning back some of the attacks and one a place in the party.
Strongfast Keep
Stood on top of the door to a plane of madness where illusion and reality mixed together (a demi-plane of chaos? the far realm?).
For bonus points the evil lich could be the Unseen Lord, or else connected to him in some fashion (ally, servant, patron?) and the lich's destruction was supposed to be his shot at (some sort of) redemption that's now gone terribly wrong.
20 years of selfless adventuring have done improved his reputation only sightly (he is no longer pelted with rotting food when entering a community).
Even after his exile from the Monastery Verity continued to devote himself to the gods he once scorned; but ironically his minor divine abilities have only further underlined how far his family as fallen. By comparision the illusionary abilities granted by the Unseen Lord in payment for his treachery have grown in leaps and bounds.
He has often been tempted to his illusionary powers to build an identity anew, but after his rejection by the monastry he's truely feels there is no place he can go. So he wears his coat of arms with the dignity that he can muster, and strives to turn the other cheek in his (probably hopeless) quest for absolution.
He fears that this new tragedy will be laid at his feet, or equally, that it is his fault, and his sins have come home to roost yet again (what's even worse that they've affected his companions, and possibly more as well).

...disquieting...
There was no end to his patience and endurance. He played day and night, his obsession was somewhat disquieting. It was less as if he were playing to dispel gloom or beguile tedium than as if he were giving himself up to the fangs of gaming devils."
Kawabata Yasunari - The Master of Go
The character
Name: Ruthaer ar'Thar
Race: Tiefling
Class: (Tactical) Warlord
Role: Leader
Level: 6
Appearance:
Ruthaer ar'Thar is a brilliant and arrogant Tiefling warlord. His fearsome reputation has likened him to the 'War-Lords' of old Bael Turath.
Background:
Originially a young and exceptionally gifted captain of an embattled free town during the Twilight War. He quickly made his name running daring strike-missions and rose through the military ranks, respected for his tactical genius and sharp mind, but equally feared for his ruthlessness and lack of empathy. During a heated battle, he once send five score of the towns best men to a certain bloody death for a seemingly minor objective (To this day, he claims this move was decisive for the battle). His star thus shone, only in the days of war. As peace began to settle across the free towns, Ruthaer was quickly relieved from his position for more 'humane' officers.
His renown however only grew as he took up a live of adventuring, putting his genius to winning fortunes and fame with a small group of equally gifted companions. But he always retained his cold-hearted efficience and, if anything, his presumptious pride only grew with the groups ever more daring exploits. Certain of his supreme intellect and his superiority, he dabbled with his infernal lineage to unlock hidden powers (infernal pact initiate). He wears black armour stitched from unspeakable beasts of the Shadowfell (+1 Deathcut Hide), carries an implement inscribed with infernal runes (+2 Magic Rod) and wields a crimson-tinged, tieflingforged blade that seems to delight in cruelty and pain (+2 vicious Bastardsword). For all the dire warnings of his companions that dark forces may not always bow to his rational, Ruthaer has thus far been vindicated by the success of his exploits.
Yet, there may come change. Being struck down from his rise to glory by the encounter with the Lich, there may be chance for Ruthaer to learn that somethings are better left untouched. That some forces may not be out-witted by tactical genius. There is yet a chance, that Ruthaer may learn something akin to humility...

Allright, I've got some time to post so I decided to update the stuff I'm DMing first.
SO, I've decied I'm going to go with 6 party members. I'ved picked 4, I'm just trying to decide which of the others would 'mesh' best with the current four. There's a lot of interesting characters out, but I don't want to DM this with nearly a dozen PC's. Thus, I've included a list of who's in, and who's left. Those in the list, I'd appreciate it if you'd vote for who you think would be the best two additions to the team.
Definitely In Party:
Zweischneid: Ruthaer ar'Thar, Tiefling Warlord
Graf: Verity Thronble, Human Wizard(Illusionist)
Walking Dad: Ripper, Bugbear rogue
Bialaska: Lady Keira, Human Paladin

It's a difficult choice to put down any votes, because I feel that all of those should be allowed to play and they all got great characters.
I feel the role we need filled the most is ranged striker (only ranged based character we have is the Wizard, who is controller) and since the Ranger in this one is more of a two-weapon fighter, that's the 'easiest' to remove from the choices. In the end both Ilian and Sylas got great characters and it's hard to choose between them. But I guess Keira would fit in best with the Warlock with a connection to the fey, rather than the one with a connection to the infernal forces, even if she can probably cooperate with both of them. Therefore one of my votes must be on Ilian Soulstorm.
With the ranged attacker role filled, I guess another defender would be good. Two Fighters are available for that spot. Of those two I guess I'll let my soft spot for elves make my decision and I'll put in my vote for Ash, the Eladrin Fighter, though that too is also a very difficult decision.
1. I feel the party would profit hugely from another fighter, or else another tank. Both Ash (Eladrin fighter by SaraRequiem) and 'boy' (human figher by Lobo Lurker) fill the role nicely. 'boy' appeals to me with the unusual concept. Thats however a very, very tough call. Ash is a great character too.
2. Unlike Bialaska, I have no partiality for adding a ranged or another melee striker. Illian Soulstrom appears to have the most developed background concept of the three.

I would like to have a minotaur in the group, just because it would be fun having a group, with two 'monsters' scouting
On the other side do we really lack in the ranged department...
As most warlock powers I know have only a reach of ten squares, I don't really see a good solution for this.
Perhaps we should take another defender and rush enemy attilery.
If I have to give names:
OutlawJT: Amintor Timon, Minotaur Ranger
SarahRequiem: Ash, Eladrin Fighter (just choose the female character, Lobo's character is also fine)
