(My favorite hybrid so far was a wizard/warlord with Strength 8, Intelligence 20, and a whip. All of her warlord powers were of the "your ally gets a free attack" variety and her wizard powers were heavy on the forced movement and debuffs. She didn't deal much damage herself, but she controlled the battlefield like whoa.) Hybrids are for:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Players who know the rules well enough to build them effectively</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Players who don't care if their characters are effective or not</li> </ul>My suggestion would be that if anyone is really set on playing a hybrid, you should have that person build a character and then run that character through a few test battles against level-appropriate foes. That should weed out anybody who wants an effective character but lacks the skills to build one under the hybrid rules.</blockquote>
