I think leather armor grants a +3 bonus, so AC should be 18.

I count 30 pts for ability scores - if you wanted to replicate the DDXP PCs, they are just slightly lower, either 28 or 29 pts.

Otherwise, everything looks good. Races & Classes mentioned rogues using follow-up attacks, it might be cool if this rogue's daily was an attack that does 2d4+5, grants the rogue combat advantage against the target, and then allows a follow up attack for 2d4+5 plus sneak attack. Less reliable than the other powers, but potentially the most single target damage, for up to 4d4+10 plus 2d6. Maybe that is a bit too good, but just a rough idea.

Edit: nevermind, I thought "deft strike" was a new power, not an official power.

I used a 28 point buy (3.5 method). Remember elves get +2 to dex and wisdom, however, I'll try and check my math again.

Hide armour has a +3, Leather is so far unconfirmed. Most people would say it's +2 though.

Oops, forgot the +2 Wisdom for elves. Your math is correct.

Re: leather armor -- the half-elf warlock has AC 15 and wears leather armor. Her Dex is 11 and her Int is 15, so I assumed that leather is +3. Unless warlocks get a +1 class bonus to AC, I don't see any other way this works.

Granted, it makes more sense that hide is +3 (given the ranger's stats), and leather was +2 in 3.x, so some hidden bonus could be at work here.

I didn't notice this until I went back to the DDXP sample characters to check what I thought was a mistake: I thought there were no negative modifiers in 4e, but it appears a score of 8 is a -1 modifier, just like in 3.x.

This is a common misunderstanding. There are no negative racial ability score modifiers, but the ability scores still produce the same modifiers as 3.X. It's because you add half your level to most ability score checks (or checks derived from them) that people thought the ability score modifiers were different.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that for me.

I still reckon that hide is in error and it should be +3 for L and +4 for H, with 6,7,8 for the heavy armours. Hide and Leather both have +3 from the DDXP PCs one of them is wrong, I reckon Hide
