I have 2 level 2s, 1 level 4 and 2 level 5s in my party and no pure controller. I don't know if that is high enough characters for what you are looking for.Yishim would love to join a party with a few level 3 and 4 or above characters in it. He is a Level 3 human illusionist wizard with tons of tactical control powers.
Very well. I'll let the idea decant for a week or so before proposing it. I want to be sure I want to run it, I'd hate to grow bored halfwhile and have the temptation to cut and run.
In my experience 4e is a lot easier to run since building encounters is much more streamlined than 3.X. Then again I'm using the DDI tools and that probably helps a great deal.In the unlikely case anyone is waiting for an update on this, I won't be getting near the online DM screen in the foreseeable future. I'm not subscribed to the DDI and keeping track of all the errata and powers from sources I don't own would be extremely inconvenient, and DMing 4e looks like 10 times as time consuming as 3.X, which I find it amusingly paradoxical.
