Let's make some 4e iconics.

Oh, and a few multiclassing feats are fine, I think, especially by epic level when people rightfully probably would diversify a bit.

I've been meaning to do something like this for a long time, my idea was to use these pregens into a demo game or in addition to the Starter set.

But instead of 8 characters, I wanted to do 16: one for each build in the PHB. One build is human, the other is... not. Why? Human is the "dominant" race, there should be a lot more of them. Also, most new players don't know what a dragonborn is - they do know they want to play a fighter like Aragorn but a "dragon-what"?

Of course I only meant to do 1st-3rd level (like the pregens we see in KotS), but 1, 5, 15, 25 (and maybe 30, why not?) sounds much more usefull in the long run.

I never decided on the final spread of class/race combos, but it would look something like this:

Human Devoted Cleric
Dwarf Battle Cleric

Human Guardian Fighter
??? Great Weapon Fighter

Human Protecting Paladin
Dragonborn Avenging Paladin

Human Two Blade Ranger
Elf Archer Ranger

Human Brawny Rogue
Halfling Trickster Rogue

Human Deceptive Warlock
Tiefling Scourge Warlock

Human Tactical Warlord
Half-Elf Inspiring Warlord

Human War Wizard
Eladrin Control Wizard
​

Eventually I would add in another race, class or build to the mix (Minotaur Barbarian, Gnome Wizard with illusion spells, Warforged guardian fighter, Drow Assault Swordmage, etc). Each with a new taste to try out.

Another idea was using the sugestions on the PHB race entries: 3 classes per race. But that felt like overkill...

I don't even need to look at the picture, you already have my vote.
I just printed the Castle of Shadows and glued it onto heavy... (whatsit called? "papel parana" in english ), cut them out and they look beatiful!

Okay, since so far only Claudio has called dibs, I'll step in and lay claim to the human wizard. I'll post something later tonight.

 

[Bagpuss]

dibs on the Elf Ranger. Although seeing Claudio art above I will probably have him using some two weapon powers as well as being an archer so a sub-optimal build.

Chose not to swap a Daily power at 15th level as Split the Tree is pretty good (and very iconic), due to picking the best of two attack rolls.

Fighter - Dragonborn. Because marking with a breath weapon rules.

Marketing declares that the fighter must also be Regdar, if only so he can take more abuse.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Hmm... I think be neat if the Warlock got one for each of its Pacts.

 

[Jack99]

I wouldn't mind doing the half-elf paladin.
