[QUOTE="Klaus, post: 4776405, member: 607"] The background is from PHB2. If that isn't feasible, take Initiate of the Faith (cleric multiclass) at level 1 instead of Two-Weapon Fighting to get training in Religion and healing word 1/day. The shortsword is there as a placeholder for any off-hand weapon, since these get bonus damage from Tempest Technique. If you find no use for Heal, then choose Diplomacy, as you'll have to interact with NPC alone. As for HP and Surges, take Toughness at level 4 and Durable at level 6. That bumps your max hp by 5 and your surges/day by 2. Also, bump Con and Dex at level 4 and Con and Str at level 8. This will leave you with 12 Con, bumping hp and surges. If needed, take warlord (or cleric) multiclass feats to trade a few fighter powers for healing powers of either class. Back to your original question, if you're going in solo it is better to be a Defender than a Striker, as you'll have better AC and more hp/surges. [/QUOTE]
