[QUOTE="jaer, post: 4073606, member: 57861"] Nope, because in order to work out a build for a character, one must read through all the powers and decide what you want and how they connect. For a first level character, that shouldn't be too difficult, but it is still requires time to read. If you buy 4e and rush to your friend's house to play, picking a build is easier than reading everything and deciding what to pick (especially when it comes to feats, since there will probably be more options for those than skills). Also, I have a friend who I have been playing with for years and he still ends up making some completely useless characters, or characters that won't be useful until 8th-10th lvl. He gets so into the concept and the idea of all of these things coming together, he doesn't look at how things are going to go at the start or how it will interact with party balance. He's a veteran player and would probably do well to look at such proffered builds. Just because you've made and run 20 D&D characters doesn't mean you are any good at it. [/QUOTE]
