[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 5214913, member: 11821"] I'd honestly go with Half-Elf. Starlocks are kinda screwy - they're a very early class design - and you will want to keep both Con and Cha at high levels, salvaging whatever's left over for your Intelligence. 16's a minimum here, but I'd frankly take 16 in each and push them to 18 with your stat modifiers. With that said, if you're not going the half-elf route, concentrate on Constitution... it's where your At-Will is, and you can always pick and choose the Infernal-style Con-based Encounter and Daily powers. With that said, if it's core 3 only, Dilettante is a rather poor ability - especially if you're focusing on Constitution. I'd look to snag a Charisma-based power from the Paladin class, and maybe give yourself a decent melee attack for emergencies. Roleplay-wise, just about anyone could come upon beings of the Far Realm. :) For half-elves, it's as easy as it is for humans, if not easier. If you were in a place where half-elves were alienated, why not turn to ... aliens? A Dwarf perhaps could have been tutored by a not-quite-as-evil-but-still-bad mind flayer or beholder. Aberrations from the far realm loooove the Underdark. :) -O [/QUOTE]
