Here's the Myth-Weavers sheet.  It should be complete.

Hey, should I make a warlock or a rogue? Those are the two classes I want to play as...

If I've accidentally given myself a level 30 ability or some kindof epic equipment I assure you it was an accident... please point out any mistakes.

I won't have time to give you feedback today. I'm a foolish fool and left my charger in a classroom, and I have around 1 minute of battery left.

Well, if you want to compete with two other people for a slot, then yeah, roll a warlock or a rogue. Otherwise, get a Leader/Controller, there's only one of each so far, I think.

Leafsnail has pulled us into the unfortunate position of having rolled the exact same race/class/build as me, which can only mean Akigagak is going to cut one of us out. =/

It already took long enough to read the setup and everything without having to read everyone elses stat sheets as well :P.

Well, either you can pray I like the idea of Team Hobbit Rogue, or either of you can make another character.

And yes. I'm posting after I said I wouldn't be able to. I've requisitioned the family laptop, but I don't have it for long.

Meh, I'll make the warlock build that focuses on CHA. eyebite sounds cool.

I suppose I should warn you that it comes up a lot less often than you'd think, since it's only useful when you're being or about to be attacked.

It's hilarious when you do use it, though, and warlocks are fun in general.

but it's still an at-will power that utilizes my CHA... Should I use the CON-based build? I could do moar damage, but I won't really do any useful status effects and stuff...

Eldritch Blast is better damage and also CHA-based (if you want it to be). I prefer status ailments myself, but truth be told they're probably not as useful as the extra damage in most cases.

But then, who wants all their moves to say "You deal damage, then deal damage?"

Hum, but I can also be the party's Bluffmaster/Intimidate user with that high CHA...

I made a character using the 4e java generator, but I know I made mistakes and don't actually know 4e at all, so if someone would be willing to tell me how to fix it that would be great.

I don't see any errors.

Your choice of stats is a bit odd, though. Unlike in 3.5, high Con isn't massively helpful for casters, since the formula for HP doesn't add Con every level, and casters aren't nearly as squishy relative to noncasters. I think the secondary stats for wizards are Wis, Cha, and Dex, which means some of your potential powers will have weak or nonexistent extra effects.

You wouldn't be gimped or anything, but you might take a look at some higher level powers or feats and see if you'd prefer better stats elsewhere.

Con is a Tertiary stat for Wizards; it's important to Staff of Defense (Close Combat) and Tome of Binding (Summoning) Wizards.

Secondary Wizard stat is always Wis; far too many powers key extra effects off to have anything less than a 14 in Wis. Tertiary Wizard stats are Dex, Con and Cha, with Dex being for Wand of Accuracy (Offence) Wizards and Cha being for Orb of Deception (Illusionist) Wizards. Wis also doubles for Orb of Imposition (Broken) Wizards. There's also the Tome of Readiness, which is stat independant and good if you don't want to focus on any one area of strength.


I'll be interested to see how this turns out Akig, considering the high level of tactical and strategic knowledge required for 4e (not the least of which being the need for the battlemat).
