So I'm writing Logan Chambers' background and I'm about to bring either him or Ignatz into the tavern, but I'm having second thoughts about Chambers. Playing him as a human is the only way to get Clever Shot AND Biting Swarm AND Grappling Spirits, which is really valuable- I think he'll be a very effective controller in heroic tier. Unfortunately, he needs 18 DEX/WIS, which is barely attainable for a human thanks to our inflated point buy.
The rub is that he has no other points to spare, and the Auspicious Birth background is not allowed. He has 22 hp, 6 surges, and 16 AC. Is he too squishy? If I rebuild him as a Drow he'll have 26 hp and 8 surges, and Cloud of Darkness does double duty as a defensive utility AND a means to get the CA he needs to daze something with Surprise Strike, but he loses the versatility of being able to choose between the two Seeker RBAs when using Clever Shot. Also I'll have to find a new portrait and come up with a new background. A lot of hassle, but if he dies it's work I'd be doing anyways. What do you guys think? Is 22 hp and 6 surges too squishy when I can't be sure that I'll have a good L1 defender and leader to take care of him?
