[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6218704, member: 51930"] Hmmm... I hear what you're saying. I don't have Essentials, though, only the regular books (and a bunch of those, actually), and no CB. If I did go Hybrid WizLock, I picked up the Elemental Chaos players guide, and I saw the elemental path. Also an elemental sorcerer path. I'm considering my options for a SorLock or WizLock, but I have to whip up a team-building adventure for two separate groups (one of them my office, the other my adult siblings!). I had a character in a previous Living 4e game (Emral Dajand, genasi Sorcerer before the elemental one came out: aimed at being an elemental tempest), and I could go back to him with a rebuild maybe? It's just that he's... emotional rather than cunning, and I want to play cunning. MC Swordmage Aegis looks like it could work with Dagger implements, and that's fun. I don't want to go just for power, I'm looking for fun and utility. I like the idea of zapping someone with lightning bolts and a solid ray of some kind. That and Flaming Sphere, and I'd like to see if there's a Web power in 4e. Minor teleports are fun, and I like the idea of using Orbs and Wands/Staves for the visual. Otherwise, having Cantrips is a big deal for descriptions and mischief. The thing is, I like finding sneaky ways of using things rather than going for just combat damage. I could do a good job with a straight Wizard, but Warlock sounds like a fun add-on, and I don't like using feats for MC. I don't know how to add an at-will through MC, or I'd just pick up Eldritch Blast and be done with it. [/QUOTE]
