Swordmage implies a fighter-wizard multi-class.  Maybe since he planned on fighting, he put his good scores in STR, CON and DEX?  Not saying that was a good idea per 4e rules, but you never know.Why is it the OP's business?  there are some people who can give advice well, and some people who don't take it well.  If he don't know the other player well enough, it's best he leave it well enough alone.  Let Darwin decide if the build was good.The real key to judging a sucky character is in play.  If you didn't know the stats, and the game was played, was the PC useful?  Or was it pretty sucky?  That's what matters, and that's what your PC is supposed to be operating on as character knowledge.</blockquote>
