Need Some Character Design Help Please

[Aluvial]

I really could use some help because I'm crunched for time and I don't know the new system very well.

I need some Feat advice for some characters.

I am using the pregens from the wizards site as starts, and they offer level advice up to level 3, but I need help up to level 6.

I see that characters get a 4 and 6.

I need feats for:

Halfling rogue, Half-Elf Cleric, Dwarf Fighter, Human Wizard, Dragonborn Paladin, Tiefling Warlord, and a whole host of feats for a Warforged Artificer.

If anyone knows some obvious choices, please drop a line...

Thanks, playtest is tonight, and I really want to sell the game a bit.

If you want to sell the game, DO NOT USE THOSE PREGENS! (Except the Rogue. He's fine.)

Make a hammer-and-shield Fighter (with Tide of Iron), a Cleric with either 18 Wisdom or 18 Strength, an Orb Wizard, and a Paladin with either 18 Strength or 18 Charisma.

If you're using the Tiefling Warlord, change one of his At-Will powers to Commander's Strike.

If you're using the Tiefling Warlord, change one of his At-Will powers to Commander's Strike.

That is, if you can get everyone to agree as to how Commander's Strike is supposed to work.

Ok, no problem switiching a few things around...

But I really need help picking the feats.

ALSO: Should 6th level characters have magical items?

Not a problem if they're using pregens. He just has to tell them how (he thinks) it works.

Feats: what do you have so far?

Magical items: yes. Each character should have a 7th level item, a 6th level item, and a 5th level item, plus gold equal to the price of a 5th level item.

I thought it allowed a Warlord to give an ally an attack but with a bonus?

Oh and yes 6th lvl characters should have magic items. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, aren't 1st lvl characters expected to gain magic items?

Yes, a five person party should be picking up 4 items per level.

DMG 126

I'd allow them to pick, or you can just assign, one weapon or implement, one armour, and one other.

Note that they can have found a level 9 item at this point. Not sure how you want to balance who gets it...

Yes, but there are always arguments as the range, etc.

Ok, it looks like I'm over my head a bit...

I need feat suggestions. Magical Items too I suppose.

Ok here are the feats.

Halfing Rogue: Backstabber, Halfling Agility,

Half-Elf Cleric: Armor of Bahumut, Group Insight,

Dwarf Fighter: Power Attack, Dwarven Weapon Training,

Human Wizard: Improved initiative, Action Surge, Human Perserverance,

Dragonborn Paladin: Healing Hands, Enlarge Dragon Breath,

Tiefling Warlord: Tactical Assault, Arcane Initiative,

Warforged Artificer: NONE YET!

It looks like I need two feats and magic for each of these guys...

Game is in 6:30 hours... UGG! I still need to make a map!

Oh, now looking through the warlord I see that it has no range.
Shame on WotC. Shame.

Oh and as for 6th level characters, on pg 143 of the DMG it states:

For magic items, choose one item of your level + 1, one item of your level, and one item of your level - 1. In addition, you have gold pieces equal to the value of one magic item of your level - 1. You can spend this money on rituals, potions, or other magic items...
