The 'trees' lead to discussion of 'min/max' and what's the best points for xxxx build. How would Pwent or Pikel Bouldershoulder come about in 4e? Pwent, while heroic in an odd sense, is an example of the toughness feat in action while having the common sense of a frenzied badger and Pikel is an example of a character with a wisdom of about 22 and the intelligence of a dire gerbil. Pikel, in particular, is gimped and gifted in some extraordinary ways. Raistlin would never have been who he was without being weak and sickly because that drove his own quest for the power of the Gods. I don't see a 4e Raistlin, Pwent, or Pikel anywhere and I don't think they put much thought into how it could come about.</blockquote>
