Lineup so far:

-Elvish Warlock
-Dragonborn HAM... eh, oh Paladin
-Tiefling Ranger
-Dwarven Inquisitor.
-Human Lootcarrier... Who seems to mumble a lot during combat.
-Dwarven Fix-It
-Human Saint Fallen From Grace

Two strikers and a defender, a controller and leader.

So LT and Doggy. Another defender never hurts. And an actual thief is always good. Just suggestions though, you're welcome to go as you wish.

I'm thinking Halfling Warlord a little fat generalissimo with medals *huff puff huff* "I have been the general of many a dining tabl....I mean battlefield now stick him with your fork er spear yes!" aplenty on his smart jacket or an old Dwarf Inquisitor (Cleric) in clockwork/geared armor *clunk whirr clunk* "now where did I put my glasses?" "Are you sure your not a goblin? you look a little green to me eh eh!" *poke poke*.

Are any of these appropriate concepts?

I'm imagining Yes but you never know

Well I'll have to play the semi-senile inquisitor in his *clunk whirr clunk whirr* armor, I'll figure out if I want him to play him as a cleric or a warlord later tonight.

Reflavouring powers isn't going to be a problem is it? have warlord powers take on a divine glow for example or have inspiring word seal up wounds as I imagine a healing word would? but keep all the mechanics and damage types the same? Of course this might not even be an issue but just thought I'd ask.

Also would it be possible to have an old shetland pony who is loaded down with replacement bits and sproggins for the armor? I'm also thinking of a hatred towards Goblins and Orcs but nothing which a bit of holding back and careful calming down couldn't take care of.

Korz "The Eye of Moradin" ( or "the past it" depending on your opinion) Cragstone

Yeah, I did look it over. It looks like for a balanced party, we could use a controller. Since it's my second ever 4e character, I may as well give it a shot.

I'm considering Forthwol the Wizard, who has no concept of the difference between OOC and IC, and constantly makes inappropriate references and refers to the real world, and himself as a character. But I don't know if that's exactly the tone you're looking for.

The other idea is the young sidekick. I'd be the guy hired to serve one of the other characters. I thought I was signing on for an adventure, but instead I got hired to be the dwarf's armor-repair man or some such. In reality, he's a wizard, but NOBODY ever notices.

- "Why don't you put away that stick and get a real weapon?"
- "I say, very convenient that that thunder came through here when it did, frightened those blighters something fierce. I never even saw the lightning."

Propably still keep everything IC would be better. But a mage whom no-one takes as a mage would be good.

Okay. He was growing on me anyways.

Possibly Eladrin just so it's SO painfully obvious to everyone else that he is a wizard. . . . except the party.

"Why are you wearing a dress?"

". . . I studied the arcane mysteries for thirty years to earn the rights to wear these robes! They are the symbol of my rank in the College Arcanum of the ancient Order of the Golden Gryphon. I graduated first in my class, I have passed the Test of the Seven Circles, and mastered all the rituals of the first circle! This is not a dress! They are my robes, a symbol of respect and prestige from a tradition older than your entire race!"

"Whatever. Hey, dragon-boy! Why does your squire wear a dress?"

"Some sort of initiation ritual for his school, I believe. I think he lost a bet. Terribly thundery around here, isn't it? Perhaps I should find an umbrella or something."

I believe we're just batting around personalities a bit at the moment to let each other know what we're intending, don't think blackrat has even discussed character creation yet? or I missed it in another thread a high probability
