I'm getting real tired of the forum's timing out on me every time I try to post. Ugh. I'm gonna try and open up the OOC thread yet again.

 

[helium3]

But yeah, it looks like he meant for us to take the two listed homebrew feats.

Exactly. They're bonus feats that you can take if you would like. No one is required to do so, however. Additionally, those two feats do not take up any of the feat slots normally granted by character level.

 

[helium3]

I'm all for a second defender, just for tactical purposes. To stay true to your character concept, you might even take the rogue multiclass feat. Just a thought. The most important part is that you play a character and class that you'll enjoy.

In my RL group we have two strikers, a leader, a defender and a controller. We have a new player coming in and the general consensus is that we need a second defender first followed by a second leader.

Also, the multi-class feats are actually pretty cool though you can't really multi-class in the traditional sense of the word until level 11+. Even then, you're still more strongly slanted towards your original class in many respects.

I know it's not 3.x style multi-classing, but I still think it's worth it in most cases. They're easily the most beneficial feats, giving training in a skill, an encounter power and a wider range of powers to choose from at each level (at the cost of an additional feat). Not bad all around.

It all looks good to me.

 

[helium3]

As for raising con, I think you might be right here. I have to look into it...

As I understand it, the trick is to make sure that you'll have the right ability score values for the feats you'll want to take at higher levels. Ability scores are one of the things you can't retrain.

 

[helium3]

Hmm. This is my first 4e character for pbp and actually my first 4e character for myself (I've been only DM'ing so far) so please check through it. I'm not sure I remembered everything...

Looks good to me. I thought there was an error with your healing surge value but then I read what Dragonborn Heritage did.

 

[The Digger]

I've tried making up several characters and I think the most useful think to do is to plan your stat increases ahead - probably at least to level 21. And then make a list of all the feats you would like over that range - far too many (sob sob). Then check what are the pre-reqs for the feats. e.g. if you want Axe Mastery at or soon after 21st level you'll need to factor in the Str and Con increases.

Most importantly are those stats you didn't want to bother about!! i.e. I'm wearing plate - what do I want Dex for? Then you discover Shield Spec/Heavy Blade Opportunity or Mastery!!

I'm a rogue, what do I want strength for? - Try Light Blade Mastery.

On top of that if you're thinking about multu-classing feats - remember the pre-reqs!

 

[helium3]

The OOC thread is open, so if y'all want to start posting there that'd be cool. I'll close this one once it seems dead.
