I can at least say that Errik isn't min-maxed. I specifically started his initial intelligence at 16, brought up to 18 by the racial bonus. I did this because I wanted him to be a fast-talkin' ex mafioso, so I bumped his Charisma up a notch instead. I feel all the feats I've taken for him so far in-character, as well as powers. In fact, I've already pretty much decided what his paragon path will be because it fits the way his character has developed and his role in this story, rather than just maximizing stats.

And yeah, Saryon doesn't have a big to-hit or do a lot of damage, but that's because he's basically a dedicated healer/support character. I'm sorry if playing a Leader is boring for you. I know it was for me the one time I tried it.
^ This is normal

This is Min/Max

Race: Kalashtar (Perception Bonus)
Class: Hybrid Ranger/Warlord
Background: Any Perception bonus
Features: Canny Leader
Skills: Perception

Ability Scores: Wis 20 (18+2)

Feats:
1st: Telepathic Sensitivity
2nd: Hybrid Talent (Ranger Fighting Style (Beast Mastery(Raptor)))
4th: Mark of Detection

Powers:
2nd: Pack Alertness

So, at 4th level, perception looks like this

Racial (2) + Background (2) + Ability Score (5) + Trained (5) + Canny Leader (2) + Telepathic Sensitivity (5) + Pack Alertness (2) + 1/2 Level (2) = +25, which gives me a passive perception of 35
Yep, that's epic level perception achieved at level 4.....

My apologies guys, I'm not as prepared for tonight as I had hoped I would be.
Do folks mind if we take off tonight?

Heh. Just got a text from Julia. Apparently the power is out at her place so we would have been short two people anyway.

You know, Julia and Darren? They play D&D with some guys named Sean, Keith, Jason, and Ryan.

It's cool-- I was late tonight anyways. ;P

This gives me time to work on all the things I need to do.
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

Oh yeah. Those people. Julia's a little silly for my tastes though.

Glad we have no connection with them whatsoever.

Just a head's up: I was scheduled to work next Thursday night.

I explained to my boss that it's been off my availibility for going on 18 months now, but she explained to me why I'm one of maaaaybe two or tree people who could possibly work it.

I'll work on getting out of that shift but for now expect that I won't be there this Thursday.

UPDATE: I got out of that shift. I'll be there tomorrow night. :)

The message carved in front of the cavern door.

Count you the shadows, watch the sun,
The wise know where they stand;
While knowing not the time to shun,
The fools must find themselves undone.

Like lustful swain or panicked child
Who beg another's gentle hand,
The fool delves heedless through the wild.
The wise are not so soon beguiled.

When darkness falls and dreams portend
The rising of a fearsome foe,
The fool, swift-striking, meets his end,
The wise know foe from friend.

Let art and image point the way,
Abandon all you think you know,
For common sense leads fool astray.
The key is simply this: Obey.

The wise must ever strategize;
They never play, unless to win.
They see the harm in comfort's lies,
And seek to open weary eyes.

You've fought your way, you've risked demise,
To view the ivy heart within.
Now as the soul within you dies,
This knowledge is your only prize:
You'd never have come, were you truly wise.

If Grendmir tries bronco busting a dinosaur again, it's probably Grendmir that will die.

While things are still pretty hectic here in my life, this is just a note to let folks know that my game is still scheduled for Thursday at the usual time.
See you guys there. :)

As I mentioned in passing last week, I won't be able to make this Thursday's game. I've got a distance ed class this semester that requires me to be present ONLY on nights when I have to write a test, plus this week, for the class' introduction.

Sort of a Deschain thing, where I'll have to write a test every few Thursdays.

So I won't be playing:

September 16th
September 30th
October 21st
November 11th
December 16th

Sorry for the problems, but there's nothing I can do about it.

Unlike Deschain, you have a real schedule, rather than a vague, hazy one that may occasionally be Mass Effect 2 rather than a class, test, or paper.

I'm sure you sent it at one point, but could you send me an updated character sheet, Gusto?
 
Shawnacy's 4E D&D Game, part 2!

I'll send it when I get home, Shawn. I'm in class right now, unlikely as that might seem. :p
