[Someone]

With so mch melee striking I've made a human warlord. I'll post him as soon is polished.

 

[drothgery]

Okay, so what we've got right now is

leaders
rb780nm - Cardamon, Human Bard (Valorous Bard)
Someone - Culth Farmer, Human Warlord (Inspiring Warlord)

strikers
Insight - Vengeance, Deva Avenger (Isolating Avenger) Vashtaryx, Dragonborn Sorcerer (Dragon Magic)
hafrogman -Kalven Skaarsgard, Human Ranger (MP2 Hunter)
Theroc - Bane, Revenant Assassin

defender
drothgery - Breena, Gnome Swordmage (Shielding Swordmage)

controller
hafrogman -Rhys Belloc, Human Invoker (Covenant of Wrath)

That leaves us without a controller (probably not a big problem in a six-person party) and pretty limited at range (possibly a problem).

After revisions down-thread, party looks a bit better balanced

[sblock=Background]
I never really fit in that town. I don't remember how I got here, but I know one family went out of their way to help raise me. When I finally decided to journey and seek battle to find myself, they did not approve, but they accepted and awaited my return as I promised I would. I fought battles across the world, wandering from place to place. I even died once. Woke up miles from where I'd died, with a hardier form, though my senses seemed a bit funny, almost as if something were missing.

After having had a death experience, I decided to return home, and repay those who'd helped me as a youth. Instead, I return to mourn their passing, and to learn that their youngest was kidnapped... My heart became vengeance. I burn to put such a terror in the heart of those responsible. And so, I gave part of myself up to the shadowfell... and now I have the source of power that I need to wreak havoc on the fiends who destroyed the only family I ever had...[/sblock]

Appearance: Culth isn't physically remarkable; not so tall, wiry, unkpemt black hair... yet his face, in a perpetual grimace of disgust and aura of confidence make him stand among other people. He can't be seen without his armor and weapons - people say he was born with them.

Background: Culth is really the son of a farmer, but in this dangerous world everyone has at least a passing knowledge of weapons. He was involved with the militia at the early age of 12, when a goblin warband attacked. He carried messages, helped coordinate the vilagers and had he opportunity of using a crossbow, demonstrating valor and intelligence. From then, perseverance and strenght of will made him sargeant very soon, and few think he'll stop there.

Okay, so what we've got right now is

leaders
rb780nm - Cardamon, Human Bard (Valorous Bard)
Someone - TBA Warlord

strikers
Insight - Vengeance, Deva Avenger (Isolating Avenger)
hafrogman -Kalven Skaarsgard, Human Ranger (MP2 Hunter)
Theroc - Bane, Revenant Assassin

defender
drothgery - Breena, Gnome Swordmage (Shielding Swordmage)

That leaves us without a controller (probably not a big problem in a six-person party) and pretty limited at range (possibly a problem).

This filled quickly and I was looking for a game to play a wizard

Could I become an alternate?

Sure, you're welcome to lurk as the game progresses, and if something opens up, you'll be first in line!

I'm happy with this if you guys are. However, if anyone wishes to make a change, it's not too late.

Tonight after work I'm going to try downloading the CB to a different computer and see if that solves my problem.

 

[Insight]

I'm wondering if maybe another single-target melee striker isn't a fantastic idea. The Assassin and the Avenger are so similar in many ways that it makes sense to me to try something different.

Since we're missing a controller and some ranged capability, how about a Psion? Or a Sorcerer? I'll take a look at both and see what I can come up with.

EDIT: I came up with a Dragonborn Dragon Magic Sorcerer. I like him. I think I'll keep him. Post it tonight.

 

[rb780nm]

I'll rework Cardamon slightly, pull in a bit of the prescient build to improve my ranged abilities.
