[QUOTE="Ipissimus, post: 4202105, member: 41514"] I've got three old characters I'm thinking about converting. Two are difficult, one quite easy. 1. My old Mystic Theurge. Cloistered Cleric/Wizard. My only problem with this is which way to go in 4E: A wizard with cleric multiclass or a cleric with wizard multiclass. Technically, the character was extremely devout and dedicated to the pursuit of magic in the name of Wee Jas, which suggests the latter option. However, thematically, the character was an unarmoured controller type which suggests the former. I'll probably need the full rules to make a final decision. 2. Ok, this one was all over the place. I wanted to play a Thrall of Malcanthet without being a Bard, so I started out as a Rogue/Sorcerer and from there it got really crazy with levels of Human Paragon and that Dancer class from Dragon Compendium before going into Arcane Trickster after ToM. Conceptually, she was a murderous, scheming, exotic dancer adept at wiles and sorcery to get what she wanted. In the end, I'll probably convert her to an Infernal Pact Warlock... but I'm just not sure if that's right for her. Of course the biggest problem is moving succubi over to Hell but I have no problem with substituting Glasya for Malcanthet if it comes to that. The problem is that, with this concept, I wanted a character who didn't wear armour and didn't carry any regular weapons (mostly disguised daggers). Ok, I'll accept that it's a fringe concept but I hope they address it eventually. 3. Easy one. Human Rogue with Student of the Sword. Conceptually, the illegitimate son of a minor noble left for dead as a babe due to the deformity of albinism. I'll admit, Warlock is also a tempting choice for his character but he was certainly more of a striker/swordsman in action who dabbled in the arcane. Maybe Swordmage multiclassed with Rogue could also suit but I'll have to wait for FrCS. [/QUOTE]
