Message: <blockquote data-quote="GameDoc" data-source="post: 5650796" data-attributes="member: 53915">I had a new player join Encounters last night. He has only played 3.5 in the past and wanted to play a monk. He had a great character concept for a non-cleric using the Oghma's Faithful theme - a street urchin from Waterdeep taken in by Oghma's temple. Trying not to deviate too far out of the "allowable" content (the hosting store has asked we stick to this so they can market HoFL, HoFK, and NWCS), I decided we would use the class options available to us and I would just allow his character proficiency and access to spiked gauntlets. We made a thief so he could fill the striker role. The concept worked great in the role-playing part of the session, but he didn't really dig the mechanics of the thief in combat and asked if switching to fighter would be a better idea. This morning I put together a Slayer along the same concept. This guy is not into character-optimization. He really just wants his character to be effective, pull its weight for the party, and to fit the style that goes with his concept. So just to get some feedback on whether the character will be able to hack it (no pun intended) in Encounters combat, I thought I would post it here for some feedback. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======, level 1Human, Fighter (Slayer)Human Power Selection Option: Heroic EffortOghma's Faithful (History class skill)Theme: Oghma's Faithful FINAL ABILITY SCORESSTR 10, CON 14, DEX 18, INT 11, WIS 14, CHA 10 STARTING ABILITY SCORESSTR 10, CON 14, DEX 16, INT 11, WIS 14, CHA 10  AC: 17 Fort: 15 Ref: 15 Will: 13HP: 29 Surges: 11 Surge Value: 7 TRAINED SKILLSAthletics +4, Heal +7, History +5, Intimidate +5 UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +3, Arcana +0, Bluff +0, Diplomacy +0, Dungeoneering +2, Endurance +1, Insight +2, Nature +2, Perception +2, Religion +0, Stealth +3, Streetwise +0, Thievery +3 POWERSBasic Attack: Melee Basic AttackBasic Attack: Ranged Basic AttackOghma's Faithful Utility: Understand LanguageHuman Racial Power: Heroic EffortMultiple Class Attack: Power StrikeFighter Utility: Mobile BladeFighter Utility: Unfettered Fury FEATSLevel 1: Melee Training (Dexterity)Level 1: Two-Weapon Fighting ITEMSSpiked gauntlet x2Hide Armor x1Adventurer's KitShortbowArrowDagger====== End ======</blockquote>
