Is there any way to change that stuff in the character builder? If not, I won't go that route; I'm already trying to house rule as little as possible.As far as the Elementalist, I have a prospective build up, if you want to critique it:[sblock]====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Zanne, level 6Half-Elf, Sorcerer (Elementalist)Elemental Specialty Option: Water ElementalistHalf-Elf Power Selection Option: DilettanteInherent BonusesOccupation - Scholar (+2 to Arcana)Theme: Primordial Adept FINAL ABILITY SCORESSTR 10, CON 18, DEX 10, INT 13, WIS 8, CHA 20 STARTING ABILITY SCORESSTR 10, CON 15, DEX 10, INT 13, WIS 8, CHA 17  AC: 19 Fort: 18 Ref: 15 Will: 21HP: 55 Surges: 10 Surge Value: 13 TRAINED SKILLSArcana +11, Bluff +15, Diplomacy +17, Endurance +12, History +9, Streetwise +13 UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +3, Athletics +3, Dungeoneering +2, Heal +2, Insight +4, Intimidate +8, Nature +2, Perception +2, Religion +4, Stealth +3, Thievery +3 POWERSBasic Attack: Melee Basic AttackBasic Attack: Ranged Basic AttackPrimordial Adept Attack: Solkara's WaveSorcerer Attack: Elemental BoltSorcerer Attack: Ice PrisonSorcerer Attack: Elemental Escalation (Water)Bard Utility: Skald's AuraBard Feature: Majestic WordBard Attack 1: Bolstering SpeechPrimordial Adept Utility 2: Solkara's GraspPrimordial Adept Utility 6: Solkara's Forest FEATSLevel 1: Master of StoriesLevel 2: Silvery GlowLevel 4: Bardic DilettanteLevel 6: Staff Expertise ITEMSMagic Cloth Armor (Basic Clothing) +2 x1Amulet of Seduction +1 x1Adventurer's KitDemise's Accurate staff of Ruin x1====== End ======[/sblock]This NPC would be one of the "Wizards" that had initially studied the genasi Wizard that's traveling with the party. She has very effective at-will ranged attacks (attack at +11 vs Reflex: 1d12+17 cold and slide all adjacent creatures vs 1 target; or attack at +11 vs Fort: 1d8+17 cold plus slow vs all creatures in Area 1), as well as some emergency healing (Skald's Aura, Majestic Word).Also, as far as I can tell, while Skald's Aura healing can only be used 1/day, the aura can be used 1/encounter. If so, if she uses her Dilettante power (Bolstering Speech), then every encounter she can hand out 5 THP with every basic attack (which her Elemental Bolt [+11, 1d12+17 + slide at-will] should count as). So, twice per day she can give some healing, and every encounter she can hand out 5 THP a few times while also utilizing some battlefield control (sliding creatures next to her target).Between Escalating Elements (+1 target, 1d10 more damage), Solkara's Wave (+11 vs Fort: 1d8+17 cold, push 2, slow, and vulnerable cold 5 UEONT vs all creatures in Close Blast 3), Solkara's Grasp (Aura 2, all creatures slowed, vulnerable cold 5, and -2 attacks), and Solkara's Forest (Close burst 2 difficult terrain for everyone else, push/pull/slide 1 extra square in terrain, plus 3 icicles of blocking terrain that deal 5 cold damage), there's a lot of control potential there (as well as extra damage with the cold vulnerability).Overall, it still looks like a relatively simple build, but I did make it a little more complex with the theme, though I did want some control options (as this would be replacing the controller). Thoughts? Does the Skald's Aura / Dilettante power (Bolstering Speech) combo work?</blockquote>
