Player looking to start a Core 4e game [recruiting players and DM]

[Insight]

Looks like we already have three bites, so four won't be too lofty a goal. I'll have the recruitment thread up in the morning.

BTW, I am on Eastern (US) time, but I tend to post at odd hours anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter a whole lot.

Yes, I have a DDI subscription. I have downloaded, but not used, the release version of the Character Builder. I guess I should get around to it eventually.

Solid. I was mainly asking because I figure once I was settled on a character I would send you the saved file from the Builder.

It's a pretty solid app, actually.

Wow. This is going a lot more smoothly than I thought it would. I think I'm just going to go the Fighter route (nice, simply, and I get to bash the hell out of things).

Exactly how do you guys handle character creation (Particularly the ability scores)?

BTW I'm on the East Coast too. I usually have computer access late at night or early in the morning. I have to fight over the computer to access during the afternoon.

Let's do the point buy method (22 pts) as detailed in the PHB. I believe it's Method #2.

I'll be posting in your thread tomorrow.

Looks like we have a Leader and a Defender. We could use a Striker and either another Striker or another Defender to round it out. Maybe a Controller too.

I'm weighing my options between a rogue (which I play a lot) and a warlock (which I've not played before, thus it is very tempting), my third option that I'm thinking about is a wizard.

If I were to rank these options, they'd be as follows:

Warlock
Wizard
Rogue

Normally Rogue would be number one, but I'm playing a few of them right now and I'd like to try something that is more a 4e flavor, thus the Warlock.

Once I work through a couple more builds, I'll say for sure, but I'm 80% decided right now.

Addendum: Quick question, Insight, more of a confirmation, is your Point of Light a homebrew, Forgotten Realms, or something else? I only ask because of the potential need to select a background or not. Thanks.

Depending on how many folks we have in melee, I'll either go a human str cleric/eladrin tac warlord or a elven laser cleric

Leaning towards an eladrin tac lord with wizard multiclass if that helps you friadoc.

Okay, I've settled on a tiefling warlock (star pact), name of Iados (EH-ah-dos). More to come tomorrow, once the thread is opened.

Hey y'all,

If there's still space, I'd like to join.
Human wizard. I've been dying to try one out. Some say that the 4e wizards are uber-weak, and I want to give them a try.
ok?
Cheers,
