Keep on the Shadowfell Pregens?

[invokethehojo]

Recently a gaming shop opened in my small midwestern town. I talked with the owner and he expressed a lack of potential players for 4e, saying heroclix was the popular seller for him.

I have not run a 4e lite campaign and don't want to (I hate not having all the rules and having to house rule important situations) however, I did pre-order keep on the shadowfell, which will have quickstart rules. I'm buying "keep" to see what it's like and if I can steal ideas/encounters/maps from it and just because I'm impatient for 4e. But, I told the shop owner I would use the quickstart rules to run a 4e demo or two at his shop.

I will probably make my own demo out of parts of "keep", it depends on how much time I have I suppose. One big question I have is:

Does anyone know if the pregens from "Keep on the Shadowfell" are different from the pregens that have been floating around enworld for the last few months?

I don't want the players to make thier own characters without the full rules but I would prefer giving them more than 5 choices.

No one has listed the KotS character race/class combos, but almost certainly there will be differences from the current pregens. In fact, I'd expect the KotS to use the iconics for 4e. So likely a dragonborn warlord, tiefling warlock, eladrin wizard, etc.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if they took the current pregens, updated them to the semi-final ruleset (Corrin, I'm looking at you), and then just added a dragonborn warlord and an elf rogue.

We've used the DDX pregens a bit, and at least a couple of my players have grown pretty attached to them. So it would be fun to see them again in KoS.

Considering that they are going to release a couple of Eberron specific extra pre-gens, I'd guess they are new pre-gens/
