All the pregens used the standard ability array as opposed to point buy (except the downloadable tiefling warlord) so that would allow some more customization/optimization were you to use that.We haven't used the pregens more than one session before we made our own characters, but looking at it a few things jump out at me:This is mostly a ranged, or, "lazer" cleric as people call it. The character focuses mostly on ranged Wisdom-based spells.The level 1 encounter power is counter to what he is built for, as it is a melee power, and that character has much less chance to hit with it than other powers he might have chosen. However, it's the only encounter power that can grant healing surges besides the healing word at that level.It has a lot of Charisma, but that does little for it. All the Charisma is doing is letting him push Undead farther when using Turn, but you don't really need them to go that far. He could easily change his Charisma and Strength (Base 13 STR switched with Base 14 Charisma). That would give him another bonus to hit and more damage, which could help.The lack of the half-elf power is a big deal I think, more options are always great.The level 2 feat is a bit unimpressive. The bonuses are always helpful, but a player would probably choose something else first.I would recommend setting aside time in your next session for everyone to make their own characters. It can really help to know what you can do, know that you built yourself for certain things, and have a bit more connection to the characters, and you're bound to learn some more of the rules that way.As an aside, if you were curious about how the pregens differ from the core rulebooks, you can check this thread: <a href="http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?p=16165243#post16165243" target="_blank">http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?p=16165243#post16165243</a></blockquote>
