[QUOTE="MortalPlague, post: 6081089, member: 62721"] In 4th Edition, I played a Cleric of Sehanine named Pohtep. He was a Zealous Demagogue (Paragon Path), both in path and in personality. He had strong mental stats and average physical stats, and his spells excelled at controlling enemies and debuffing them, with the occasional ally buff. In 5th Edition, Pohtep can be modelled very well. His stats are no problem. He worships the trickster-aspect of Sehanine, which grants him Channel Trickery and Deception. In 4th, his armor granted him the ability to go invisible. In 5th, Channel Deception offers him the same ability. He also gains invisibility as the spell once he reaches 3rd level. He had (and used regularly) an encounter power called Command, which is now a spell in 5th. He also had Hold Foe, which is easily replaced with the Hold Person spell. There are some places where 4th Ed Pohtep is more effective than the Next version, however. 4th Pohtep could use Moment of Glory to give his whole party damage resistance 5 for a whole encounter, while 5th Pohtep cannot match that. Also, 4th Pohtep could choose a creature who everyone could gain +5 to damage against for a whole round, while 5th Pohtep has to settle for using Bless or Aid to give everyone a bonus on checks. But overall, the spirit of Pohtep remains very close to the character. [/QUOTE]
