That'll be lovely. Just be sure to remember I want a more dexterity based character than strength. I wanna be able to dodge attacks rather than block or parry.

Rogues are good. I would suggest one, an elf is probably the best. Or a halfling.

No. Elves dont make good rogues. Too weak, they are far better and shooting arrows and casting spell,s due to natural int bonus.
halflings, on the other side, very fast, but far too weak. Those better to be at the back of other people, in long-term campaings, opening doors, and disarming traps. You get the idea.

Actually guys, out of 6 players, we have 5 playing Striker roles, and only 1 Controller, and there are no Defenders or Leaders at all. As the party stands, combats will probably be lethal to a player or two per encounter, since there are no healing or protective roles, and the party will thus be limited to using guerrilla tactics and hit-and-runs. It could work, but I still don't see you guys being able to hold your own in melee very well, and save for the Dwarven Infernal Warlock Twins (I love how you both picked the exact same character type :P) you wont have much of a way to avoid enemy melee, lacking in ranged damage and Defenders to hold the front line.

I'm willing to run it this way, but it will take careful tactical decisions and teamwork. Still, to avoid frustrating you all in combat scenarios, if a few players would be willing to branch out into Defender or Leader roles, it'd help round out the party. Also, there are a wide variety of Races to choose from,  some more uncommon than you'll generally find in 4e campaigns, so feel free to try one out. If you end up not liking your character, we can always make you a new one.

Since I tend to do a lot of non-combat challenges as well, the party may want to consider investing in some varied skills (acrobats, trackers, healers, scholars, diplomats, etc.

On that note, Yanlin, maybe you'd consider playing a Swordmage? You'd have the martial capabilities and armor of a fighter, plus the elemental damage and utility of a Wizard, and it's not a watered down cross-class as in earlier editions.

Is it possible to spectate?  I can't commit to playing something like this--Religious vow to avoid scheduling things online (don't ask)--but if I happen to be free, I'd like to see how this goes.

I've run just one session of 4E before which is my only experience, and I'd really like to see more about how it plays.

Though I'd gladly welcome you as a player at any time, you're welcome to Spectate. You'd just need to log into Map Tool when we run game, and I'll give you GM privileges so you can view the campaign without needing to have a character involved.

Also Fobos, I'm probably going to be able to host it. Also, I may have a solution to Cerej's hosting issue, using a Virtual Proxy Network, IE Hamachi.

If you want to play Rogue, you are welcome to it... if you want to play a non-striker scoundrel though, there are always sleezy Bards, corrupt Paladins, mercenary Fighters, urban Rangers (think hitmen), insane Shamen, and more. Feel free to experiment with a new character archetype; you might find something you like!
