Okay, I'm partly done building my character (using the Vecna builder). I went with a Half-elf Skald partly because I already have a Half-elf Valourous Bard in a RL campaign, and partly to try out the Aura mechanic.
Stats:
Str 8
Con 14 +2
Dex 10 or 16
Int 10 or 16
Wis 12
Cha 16 +2
I took the Knack for Success power instead of cheesing a dilettante ability because it seemed more 'leaderly'.
I took Bard of All Trades; the only skill she will suck at is Athletics.
My damage is going to be bad.
My next decision point is whether to boost Int or Dex. I don't want to step on anyone's toes, and Dex is the obvious go-to for Initiative, having a RBA that isn't garbage, and being competent at stealth. Opinions?
Also, how much refluffing can we get away with?
