I know off the bat she would prefer a Con build for all the extra toughness (although I doubt she hits the frontlines often if at all), but many of the best damaging powers seem to be Cha-based, so I'm just not sure which way to go, lol.Sorry for the wall of text, but with all that out, I'm not really asking anyone to go through a lot of trouble to build my character for me (although I'd love to take a look at any similar builds you guys might already have), but if any of you have any advice on some pact options or in the long run if Con or Cha will be better.  We plan on running this campaign at least up through paragon a bit, so trying to keep PP's in mind as well.  Any other advice would be greatly appreciate and be a huge help!  Thanks in advance guys and look forward to the responses!</blockquote>
