Some of the people were new to 4e, possibly new to D&D in general. And that's fine, that's cool.But when the Swordmage told us he had a 14 Intelligence... I got worried. How can you tactfully bring this up? I'd like to offer to help him retool the character. Should I bring this up in a post-game wrap-up? Over email? The fact that we're doing this online complicates things a bit, etiquette-wise. It's hard to convey intent over text sometimes, and I don't want to give him the impression that I'm trying to boss him around or telling him he sucks. Should I leave this up to the DM to take care of? I know how annoying it is to try out a new system, and suddenly get bogged down by tons of 'helpful advice' from your fellow players on how to build your character. But I don't think he wants to play a dumb swordmage for roleplaying reasons. I think he just didn't know how to build the character.How can I go about this tactfully?</blockquote>
