[QUOTE="weldon, post: 4951757, member: 18817"] If you are in the TURTLEDOME adventure, please skip this thread. I think it would be fun to reveal the overhaul in the game. [sblock=Overhaul]Apparently I'm getting close to 2nd level so I need to get serious about an overhaul to fix the things I didn't know when I created my first 4e character. I'm making a proposal because I would like to change Finnian's race as part of the overhaul. [B]Proposed:[/B] Change Finnian to a longtooth shifter [B]Comments:[/B] KenHood has already said he will accept the change mid-adventure, if the judges allow it. [B]Rationale:[/B] PHB2 was available after I made Finnian. Great flavor synergy with the beastmaster build. Stat bonuses make sense for a melee ranger.
