[QUOTE="Savevsdeath, post: 5339758, member: 73230"] Theres a feat for this for Beastmaster Rangers called Beast rider. Your DM was right to not allow riding the beast though, its a bit powerful as an option and despite what the tunnelvision optimizers say the Small size drawbacks aren't bad enough to warrant the versatility a free mount would give. Now on to the topic at hand - My current characters. Lately i only play 4E in an online chat ( [url]http://worlds-devoured.net[/url] ) and currently have three characters, all at least half psionic. Like an earlier poster, i choose human as default because its the best race, and play other races if a concept calls for it. My main character, is a Level 4 Human Hybrid Monk|Assassin who began life as a single-classed monk but became hybrid when the Hybrid rules were allowed in-game. Hes a freakin' damage machine with insane mobility thanks to having Flurry of Blows + Assassin's shroud, and Shadow Step combined with the mobility-enhancing monk full discipline powers makes him impossible to pin down. Unfortunately, hes got a cruddy Ac and middling hitpoints, so he cant survive in a stand-up slugfest. My second character is a Level 2 Tiefling Euphoric Ardent, a real ladies man type of guy who uses a Mordenkrad and is a debuffing machine. Demoralizing Strike plus the Bloodhunter's Dread feat means every time he hits a bloodied target that enemy is suddenly scrambling to get the hell away from him (+10 atk, 2d6+6 Damage Brutal 2, -2 to all defenses until end of next turn, -2 to attack rolls against him until the end of his next turn [I]as an at-will.[/I]). My third character is a Level 1 Human Hybrid Battlemind|Fighter. He is a lockdown artist; i took Hybrid Talent and Versatile Expertise as his starting feats and use a Khopesh (reflavored to an war cleaver) for flavor reasons and a heavy shield. For his Hybrid Talent option i gave him Combat Superiority. Between Combat Challenge, Combat Superiority, and Mind Spike it has been extremely difficult for monsters to even [I]consider[/I] attacking anyone but him or trying to escape him while marked.
