Scalding
First Post
I was looking at the character progression, when it occurred to me that with all the Wizard powers in the PrRC, that I might be able to craft a character above level 1. It turns out, we're missing a lot at low levels, so in order to do this I had to choose a high enough level to have most of the necessary powers available. The lowest level I could do this at was 23, and all that's missing are the Paragon powers. So, without further ado, I present you:

Lenny's obviously a bit underpowered, and not really min/maxed. I had to choose pretty much all the feats he qualified for, and of course there isn't a lot of choice in powers either. Also, I had to guess how the spellbook choices work once you have dailies of different levels. Still, to me he's an interesting portal to things to come.
