[QUOTE="UHF, post: 5348042, member: 95672"] You could try reskinning a character to suit. i.e. somehow mix say a Ranger\Archer and a Slayer to come up with a suitable build for a zappy Warlock. I wouldn't want to do that for all the players, but you could do it. Be sure to avoid daily powers. Come to think of it, there is one adult in my games who's constantly over whelmed by all the powers and so on. He'd probably prefer a Slayer. Have you considered a role playing game that isn't so miniature\micro-effect dependent? I think of 4e as an action film, and from what you're saying, a chick flick might work better. Now my LGS has an amazing selection of RPGs, and the owner once told me that it was women who were coming in the store and buying the White Wolf Vampire stuff. (Something about chicks, and a bite on the neck.) I have also heard that Role Playing is better in White Wolf RPGs. (I'm not sure how to interpret that myself.) To be clear, I'm a huge 4e fan, but its a pain in a lot of respects. Savage Worlds does come to mind as an easier setting to run. So... it is with some considerable humour that I will reveal that most of the kids I play with (and me) are considered disabled. We all suffer from ADD, and some are even medicated (not me). A few are considered gifted... my daughter among them. I myself have a patent for a mathematical algorithm I developed. And... I like action movies. [/QUOTE]
