[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5177019, member: 807"] In 4e, it take -effort- to try and make a completely unusable PC. I admit I only glanced at your list but it seems like it will do well enough. Keep in mind that 4e has a lot to do with PC synergy. Do you know what other types of PCs will be in the party? That may affect a couple power choices, skill choices, background benefit choice, etc. (For example: If someone else in the party will have a better Wis or be trained in Perception, then don't bother putting your background bonus in to perception, instead put it in to athletics to help balance out the armor penalties from the armor and shield.. that sort of thing) Also, a random observation, but toughness you're taking toughness towards the end of each tier (at 8th and again at 18th after having retrained out of it in between). Toughness makes the most noticeable difference towards the start of each tier (early levels and again near start of paragon level and again near start of epic). By waiting until the end of each tier to take it and then retrain out of it in between, you won't have much noticeable benefit from it. So I'd consider either taking it and stick with it during early levels of each tier or don't bother with it at all if you have other feats you'll want to take. [/QUOTE]
