[QUOTE="Dr_Sage, post: 6139359, member: 36185"] First and foremost, thank you all for the kind answers. I have been looking into the handbooks, but sometimes they don't really cover builds that are not optimized. And I enjoy this kind of feedback, communication, conversation.:heh: My apologies, I had no idea.... will try to solve it. It's ok. My players and I have a very good relationship. We are kinda old school.;) I agree. Will probably avoid it at the moment. We will try to maintain the rogue martial, "magic-free" and simple. I agree, and these 2 guys are my main concerns. When I say "striker-level" of damage for the paladin it's just an expression, I exaggerated. I think that player will enjoy punishing the big guys while defending the party (maybe heelless fury and divine pursuit style of powers). Regarding the Crossbow Ranger I think I will work Dex-18, Wis-16 with some Con, so he becomes an excellent party radar and guide; while qualifying him to the Steady Shooter Feat. I am looking at the backgrounds and themes to bring his athletics to a decent level (what kind of dwarf can't climb? :-S). When I said "hunter", I meant the Ranger option from Martial Power (Quickdraw + sheathe weapon). I just love the 4th edition, I really do. One of the main reasons is the "robust" thing you mentioned, leaving my Evil DM Brain focus the story-telling. I remember the nightmare it was to keep groups balanced in the 3.x age. In 4 edition vanilla I allowed be worse powergamer-optimizer friend that I knew to create his own character and the basic rules and builds kept all in balance without any house-ruling on my part (at least during heroic). I will bring your ideas to my players, any more suggestions will be welcome. Cheers! [/QUOTE]
