[QUOTE="GoodKingJayIII, post: 4204306, member: 13804"] ISP, perhaps you did not intend it this way, but your original post is very sarcastic and looks pretty trollish. Your attitude, though amusing, has already set me (and probably others) up to believe that you do not like 4e and are not actually interested in recreating a favorite character in 4e, but rather just "prove" that 4e is "bad" because you cannot get exactly what you want from it. I don't think you should be surprised that you are getting some negative responses from folks, since you set the negative tone in the first post. In response to your original question, I'm going to ask one of my own: do you have the player's handbook? If so, then you are privy to information 90% of us are not, and recreating your half-orc great sword assassin may well be impossible. If, however, you do not own the books, then I would say that attempting to make [I]any[/I] character above 1st level is rather silly. Of course you cannot create the character that you want; you don't have all the rules that would be necessary to do that. So, here's what you should do to make this character: wait. On June 6, head over to your FLGS or bookstore with a piece of paper and pencil, grab the PHB, DMG, and MM of the shelf and start going through the rules to put together the character you want. Until you do that, this thread serves little purpose other than creating arguments on different sides of the playing field, as most people responding to you will not have the rules and therefore can only offer very limited advice.
