[QUOTE="Theroc, post: 5310895, member: 83115"] Going to be playing in an Eberron-setting game in the not too distant future(The DM is preparing), and we (the players) are working on our desired characters. I sortof volunteered to be the defender because I commented that usually people don't like defenders and half the characters I'd like to try most are defenders. I do not really want to play a Warden, as I already have been playing one and would like to give other classes a chance. I'm also trying to stay away from Dragonborn... since... almost every character I've made in 4th Edition was one. >.> The main class I had in mind was a swordmage(since I was always trying to make 'gish' characters in Version 3.5...) but after comparing the Warden's Marking mechanic with the Swordmages, I am worried I won't be able to properly protect the party. I'm also having spasms because there isn't really an available race that matches the stat priorities of a Shielding Swordmage, lol. Game Info I have so far - Available books: All. We will be using the Themes from Dark Sun as well. Starting Level: Uncertain, I assume 1st. Other characters: A Melee Built Human warlock - He's got his whole character planned out, so he may post a skeleton in here to give you guys some more info. A Human or Kalashtar Monk - Build unknown to me A Githzerai(probably) Artificer - Build unknown to me An unknown 4th. I've also been considering taking a look at the Paladin and the Fighter classes as well, but haven't ruled out the Swordmage yet. (Never was really into the Psionics that much, but I may try one out if someone makes a really good point) I guess this is rather vague, but hopefully I'll get some input that will help me settle in a direction.
