I don't have a DDi account, so the charbuilder is off-limits to me. However, using a borrowed copy of HoFL, I did a decent job building him as a level-10 Elf Thief. As a quick and dirty run (not a lot of time spent on optimizing; heck half the time was spent remembering how I BUILD a 4e PC!) I managed to get him close to his 2e (and later, 3.5) versions. Some points.I kept the ability score mix you used above (based on his original 4d6 rolls). Elf Bumps to Dex and IntI ended up trained in Stealth (HS/MS), Thievery (OL/PP/RT), Perception (DN/FT), Acrobatics (Tumble/Tightrope), Althletics (CW) and Bluff (Disguise). I later gained Dungeoneering (Skill Mastery) and History (Ancient Hist). Ettiquiete, Appraise, and Ride lost, but they were minor elements of his backgound. For Feats, I took Two Weapon Fighting (yes, its terrible compared to actually fighting with dual strike, but it kept a nod to his dual-wielding), Weapon Prof: Rapier (replaces longsword; same stats but finesse), Improved Initiative, Defensive Mobility, Light Blade Expertise, Bow Expertise, and Skill Training: History. Most of his class powers worked well. I choose Ambush Trick, Acrobatic Trick, Tumbling Trick, and Feinting Trick for at-wills, and Tumble, Hidden Blade, and Shadow Stride for Utility. Yeah, he still looses thieves cant and Use Scrolls/UMD even under Essentials. I didn't bother to tally up the math or pick items. Ironically, I find this build truer to Remy than either his 3.5 or your 4e builds. (His Pathfinder version is also very close, mostly due to skill issues) He does nearly everything I want him to do; snipe, hide fight with his blades, and sneak/scout as needed. If THIS Remy had greeted me in 2008 rather than the weird, wonky one made with the PHB1; I might be playing and advocating for 4e today.PS: There was NO way of knowing this, but... his birth WAS prophetic. Good job on the background. (Though nobility would have worked too.) <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
