Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dannyalcatraz" data-source="post: 5230842" data-attributes="member: 19675">I realize its early on, but so far, I'm pleased with the approach I've taken.The only power I didn't use was the Eldritch Blast: too many high-dex targets.  The Cha powers, despite being down a point relative to the Con ones, were still quite effective.  The flexibility element of the build- being able to target Fort, Ref, and Will with powers- actually mattered.  Without the Cha powers, I'd just have been spamming one power all night.While we're only PHB1 at the moment, this is still the trial period.  Not everyone in the group could make it, so we're going to have at least one more trial session.  In addition, the overall experience was positive enough that the guys are talking about chipping in to get a DDI subscription for the group.Since I'm the lone Mac dude, I'll be using books.  That's cool with me, since I prefer them...AND I have a knack for getting deals.  Just picked up AV1 & 2, MP1, AP1, DP1 and PP1 for about $70 off.  Coupled with the 3 PHBs and FR and Eberron's player guides and I have a nice base to work with.Still, whether we actually venture beyond the PHB1 remains in the DM's hands.  Personally, I'm lobbying for some expansion, since some of the options (certain classes, certain races, Hybrids) would appeal FAR more to some of the players than the PHB1 options.Myself included.However, I don't have any plans to do anything more than play my Dwarf Starlock until he's killed off.  I like the character- one part <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_Beyond_(film)" target="_blank">Crawford Tillinghast</a> (or almost any other Mythos protagonist), one part <a href="http://shannara.wikia.com/wiki/Ellcrys" target="_blank">Chosen of the Ellcrys</a>, one part "dwarf's dwarf"- so I'll find powers that I'll enjoy working with.  I may change out some powers if we get to use the Powers books, and I may lobby for getting a pact hammer, but that's about it.</blockquote>
