Character building exercise

... as soon as the Wizard pulls out Flaming Sphere, the battle is over.

From where, exactly, is the wizard pulling out this flaming sphere?

 

[Gradine]

Hyperbole is just one of my pet peeves. I really shouldn't have been so hard on you. I just get tired of hearing bald assertions that I have seen falsified over and over again in my own games.

You clearly meant no offense and I took none. As for me, I write a lot, primarily prose; hyperbole's essentially all I do*

*Case in point

Drow- Paladin
Paladin got the short end of the stick here, but a Drow Paladin is just a funny thing to think about. Go Protecting or (or maybe Virtuous) here.

I play a Drow Paladin and they are awesome. You should have seen the looks on the faces of my fellow players when the Paladin pulled out a bottle of poison to use on his weapon.

The racial darkness power is also awesome for a Defender, especially if you bump it up to burst 2.

Kalasthar- Cleric
Doesn't necessarily feel right going non-Psionic here, but they do generally make excellent blaster clerics.

Tiefling- Ardent
Probably one of the goofier choices on the surface, but Ardents do enjoy the Charisma boost, and the "controlling emotions" flavor of the class does have some fun role-play opportunities with typically fiery Tieflings.

Wilden- Warlock
Take Con as your second stat boost. You'll probably want to stick with aspect of ancients or hunter. Go Vestige to mesh with the whole ever-shifting persona.

Gyah... That last one is weird. I can't really imagine Wilden as much else than Druids or something more generic like Fighter.
If you want a Wilden Warlock, Fey Pact is the obvious choice. Or if you want to go for the "tainted nature" shtick, Infernal Pact.

Still, Tiefling is *the* choice for Warlock. I'd move the ardent to a race that has some psionic flavor. Kalashtar would be my top choice.

Which leaves the Cleric for... Mhh. Pretty much every race worships gods in some way or at least has a religion.

I presume he left the four classes (Artificer, Druid, Shaman and Sorcerer) and six supported races (Bladeling, Gnoll, Half-Elf, Minotaur, Revenant and Shadar-Kai) off for a reason. I suppose you could do the full class list and hack two of the races off (I'd go with Revenant and Gnoll, probably).

Yeah, I actually eyeballed it at 20 but turned out I had 21. I almost went all but that gave me unbalanced numbers (and higher) so I pared the list down a bit. I decided against mainly originally "monster" races but left the half-elf off because of the dilletente power "watering" the exercise a bit.
