I write up the stats then I remember about adding in half level. I just didn't realise how many things used the half level stat. Then I go for a magic staff and it all starts all over again adding in the plus from the staff. Eventually I think I have it then I remember about an elf's ability to add perception - so I add that. Then there's hit points etc etc etc. So I think I have it now but I'm willing for any criticisms/ideas/suggestions. Especially as regards which Utility Power to take. Both are good, both are defensive but 1 is daily and 1 is encounter. Any comments? ---------------------------------------------------------------------Joshua Dar Rhest: Human wizard Initiative +4 (Feat)Perception +6 (trained skill) (+7 within 5 squares of Karis)Alignment: Unaligned (Ioun)Languages: Common, Goblin Str: 12 (+1) Con 16 (+3) Dex: 10 (+0) Int: 18 (+4) Wis: 12 (+1)Cha 8 (-1)HP: 30, Bloodied 15, Surge value 7Healing Surges: 9 Action Points: 1Speed: 6 squares  AC: 19 (11 + 3 magic Leather + 4 Int + 1 Staff) Fort: 15 (11+3 Con +1 Racial)Ref: 16 (11+4 Int +1 Racial)Will: 15 (11 + 1 Wis + 1 Racial +2 Class) Staff of Defense grants +3 bonus to any defence immediate interrupt once per encounter Skills: Arcana +10 (T), Dungeoneering +7 (T), History +10 (T), Perception +7 (T), Acrobatics +1, Athletics +2, Bluff +0, Diplomacy +0, Endurance +4, Heal +2, Insight +2, Intimidate +0, Nature +2, Religion +5, Stealth +1, Streetwise +0, Thievery +1(T) = Trained Skill: Values include half level.  Feats: Ritual Casting, Armour proficiency-leather, Improved Initiative  Racial & class FeaturesArmour Profs (Cloth); Weapon Profs (Dagger, quarterstaff)Bonus to Defence: +2 WillStaff Mastery: +1 AC and once per encounter bonus gives +3 to any defence as immediate interruptCantripsGain ‘Ritual Casting’ featSpellbook; Rituals:Tenser's Floating Disk, Animal Messenger, Comprehend Languages. Powers:Basic Melee: Str (+5) vs AC (Lvl +1, Str +1, Staff +2 (proficiency) +1 Magic) Damage 1d8+ 2 (str and magic) Basic Ranged: Dex (+1) vs AC (+1 Lvl) ; Range 5/10; Damage 1d4OR use Magic Missile! At Will Cantrips: Ghost Sound - ranged 10, One object or square.Light - Ranged 5, lasts 5 minutes.
