[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 4288691, member: 6562"] My answer from [url=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=229756]a related thread[/url]... Tieflings cover all roles quite well: Controller (Wizard), Leader (Warlord), Defender (Paladin) and Striker (Fey Warlock). Elves cover every role tolerably well: Leader (Cleric), Striker (Rogue, Ranger), Controller (Wizard with Orb focus), Defender (Fighter), though these last two are only decent thanks to the elf re-roll ability. Humans cover three roles well: Controller (Wizard), Striker (Warlock), and Leader (Warlord). Humans can do Defender (Fighter) tolerably well, but it's not their forte. Dragonborn do well in three roles: Leader (Str Cleric, Cha Warlord), Defender (Fighter, Paladin), and Striker (Warlock). Dwarves would make an interesting party: Controller (Orb Wizard) heavy on Wisdom, Defender (Fighter, Paladin), Leader (most excellent Cleric), and Striker (Warlock). I wonder if a Dwarf Ranger (TWF) would be awesome. Halflings are Strikers (Warlock, Rogue, Ranger) and maybe Defenders (Paladin). Half-Elves only cover Striker (Warlock) and Defender (Paladin), though a case could be made for Leader (Warlord). Eladrin would be interesting Warlords, and they're obviously good as Controllers (Wand Wizard) and decent as Strikers (Rogue). Dwarf Weapon Training works to make Dwarf a decent Fighter choice, and I wonder if Eladrin Soldier could do the same work for Eladrin Warlords. - - - So in summation: Tieflings rule! Cheers, -- N PS: I'd originally said Elves made tolerable Paladins, but I think I had meant to write Fighters, who add their Wisdom to OAs, and who seem to have more Reliable daily powers. Also, of course, Elves would want to wear Scale armor and not Plate, so again the Fighter is up ahead. [/QUOTE]
