My concept is simple : A highly mobile fighter who can defend as well or nearly as well as a regular (typically non-mobile) fighter.First, the campaign house-rules : 1 ) You may change one of the 2 +2 racial stat adjustments to another stat. 2) Only core races allowed 3) Start at level 3 4) Mundane items and 1 level 5 magic item. 5) Free Weapon/Impliment Expertise pluses at 5/15/25The other members of the party will consist of : Artificer , Melee Beastmaster Ranger, and Psion.My best idea so far is to build this as a Tempest Technique fighter with a defensive / double weapon of some sort. If I max my dex and go light armor that will put me at the same ac as a scale + shield dude and give me a small bit of extra damage from tempest technique as well as a movement of 6 and only a -1 armor check penalty. With a high dex and low Armor Check Penalty, I can use my free Eladrin skill for something like Acrobatics / Stealth / Thievery.I picked Urgrosh simply because it's the only dual weapon that is either a spear / longsword (So I can use the awesome Eladrin Soldier Feat). I would love to use double sword instead for HBO, but then I need 2 feats to match the Eladrin Soldier feat.*******************************************************====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Ghost, level 3Eladrin, FighterFighter Talents: Tempest TechniqueBackground: Born Under a Bad SignFINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 18, Con 10, Dex 18, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 8.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 18, Con 10, Dex 18, Int 10, Wis 13, Cha 8.AC: 20 Fort: 17 Reflex: 16 Will: 13HP: 45 Surges: 9 Surge Value: 11TRAINED SKILLSStealth +9, Endurance +5, Athletics +9, Heal +7UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +4, Arcana +3, Bluff, Diplomacy, Dungeoneering +2, History +3, Insight +2, Intimidate, Nature +2, Perception +2, Religion +1, Streetwise, Thievery +4FEATSLevel 1: Mark of WardingLevel 2: Eladrin SoldierPOWERSFighter at-will 1: Footwork LureFighter at-will 1: Dual StrikeFighter encounter 1: Funneling FlurryFighter daily 1: Villain's MenaceFighter utility 2: Pass ForwardFighter encounter 3: Rain of BlowsITEMSHide Armor, Adventurer's Kit, Staggering Urgrosh +1, Longbow*******************************************************Here are my questions:1) is light armor an OK thing to do? I don't see any downsides to it, except the fact I need to keep my DEX maxed, but there has got to be lots of cool things to do with a high dex.2) what things should I do to take advantage of my high dex?3) Paragon path - I was thinking Kensai -because my wisdom will only be 14 at paragon so pit fighter wouldn't be so good and the +1 to hit with kensai will make me a better defender.4) Where can I go with this build? I was thinking of using the Fey Charge feat and kinda maximizing my charging abilities / damage and to hit bonuses.5) Anything else Im missing? I basically want to have this guy be a good defender but in an unconventional way <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />*******************************************************Also, I'm working on his background story as this will be a fairly RP heavy campaign. I will post details on that as I work on it, but wanted to make sure the basic idea of the character is sound first.</blockquote>
