[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 5651187, member: 67338"] ok, I am quoteing you, but it is to a bunch of you saying the same idea... Background: we started in sept the first year of 4e...we had phb1 and frpg, and av1 to start. and we all kinda didn't know what we were doing... 3 of the 5 of us caught on faster, 2 slower... and becuse it was our first 4e try some of it was pretty bad. We ran the H1-e3... the player of the ranger started as a fighter, but died in h2 and had to bring in a new character...now having the edge of understanding and the opt board, and martial power + a few books and starting higher level he came in better. the rouge was useing a rapier (cost feat) was the str build (from phb1 can't rmeember name of build) he was multi into cleric at low level, and he wanted a good Con and Int too, so he was spread thin. The ranger on the other hand went 20 dex and a good wis, and almost nothing else. The rouge wanted holy symbols, and spent a feat on lingustics. The ranger took focus and got the great bow asap, the tanger had archery bracers the rouge had bracers that aloud him to use an at will on a charge. the ranger increased his dex and wis every 4 levels the rouge split his stat ups to str, dex, wis, and Int... no matter what item I droped if it had a higher + the ranger player would ask for it to be transfered to his bow...so he always had atleast tied for the highest +.
