Message: <blockquote data-quote="On Puget Sound" data-source="post: 5713098" data-attributes="member: 68988">OK, I'll take a crack at this.  We want a basically non-casting (or whose casting can be explained as something else) character with a skill or power for every situation -  a bit of a Batman.  I'll start with the skills.  Dex, Int and Cha sound like the stats to work with; I didn't see a lot of treehugging or meditation in your write-up.  These stats work well for rogues, assassins, vampires, psions, wizards, warlocks, and bards.  Vampires are too un-fun to build for someone who enjoys exploring options (as in, they don't have any).  We'll toss the wizards too, but leave the warlock and psion in. Because of the techno flavor, let's add artificer, an Int-Con or Int-Wis choice; I'd choose the Wis option if you go this route because a Con class gives you squat for skills.The obvious race for someone from Earth is human, but it's not the only choice.  The trip between worlds could have altered you (it worked for Kal-El); I could see choosing to mechanically be a Changeling or Half-Elf while remaining culturally human in role play.I would look at:any rogue build, including the essentials thief, which is in most respects simply better than the original.cunning bardexecutioner style assassin (the other kind is too mystical, I think, and the shroud mechanic is clunky and slow).hexblade - a melee warlock.  Your "pact" could actually be with an entity back on Earth that, unknown to earth humans, also manifests in this world as a fey or Infernal power.  (Wolfram & Hart, medieval version?  The East India Trading Company, which in this reality is Tiamat, goddess of greed?).  Back on Earth, you got a paycheck for your services; here you get spells instead.artificer -  You are MacGyver.  All your powers are little things you whipped up during your last rest stop out of copper sheeting, leather straps, powdered charcoal and a sliced lemon.Try sample builds of these before digging into multiclassing; you may find you don't even need to.  If you do, decide whether you want to dabble (which is "multiclassing", and you can't actually get your first cross-class power for several levels) or fully blend (which is "hybrid", and be careful.  It's hard to make a truly bad character in 4e, but the hybrid rules have many ways to do so, not all of them obvious at first).</blockquote>
