[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 4287867, member: 996"] Start with the 4 roles. Leader, Defender, Striker, & Controller. Pick one class for each role, double up on defenders & strikers. Say: Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Rogue, Ranger, & Wizard. Then, pick one of the two builds for each class. Once you've picked the build, you'll have also chosen a Primary and one or two secondary Characteristics for the character. For isntance, if you choose a WIS Cleric, it'll need WIS & CHA, maybe some CON or STR. If you chose a Gaurdian Fighter, it'll want STR & WIS, etc. Now pick a race that adds to the Primary stat, and, if possible, one of the secondaries. If there isn't one that seems like a good choice, pick Human, and put the stat bonus in Primary. Use method 1, the 'array' for stats. Put the highest stat in the primary ability, it'll be 18 with the racial bonus. Put the next highest in the secondary, and the third in the stat-pair that's left. (Stats are now in pairs - STR-CON, DEX-INT, WIS-CHA - the higher stat in the pair adds to your FORT, REF/AC, & WILL, respectively). Distribute the lower stats however. Finally, pick at will, encounter, and daily powers. There's only one or two real choices per slot once you've picked you sub-class, and they're easy to spot, they're the ones that use the primary and secondary stats. Pick skills, feats, & weapons (again, weapons will likely be dictated to a degree by your sub-class & powers). Give the character a name, miscellaneous gear, and other descriptive elements. You might want to re-jigger your stats to enable a specific feat choice, but asside from that, it should all go pretty smoothly and easily. [/QUOTE]
