Page 5: The Teleporter's powers show an extra Daily Attack Power (should total 4 including Elemental Maw, which was moved to Encounter). Page 5-6: Tide of Iron requires a shield, which precludes the stated desire of using a Wand in the Off-Hand. Page 7, Col 1: You may not select a Paragon Path if you Paragon Multi-Class. Page 7, Col 2: The Weapon Focus Feat does not stack with the Eladrin Soldier Feat, as both add Feat bonuses to Damage (though, Racial Feats should add or enhance Racial Bonuses, but that's another thread). Page 7, Col 2: Warrior's Challenge is a Fighter Attack Power (Lvl 17) Page 8, Col 1: Heavy Blade Mastery requires 17 Dex. I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones I've found at first glance.

On the other hand, despite the Paragon Path being mentioned, no actual abilities from it are referenced, so it may have been intended simply as an alternate route suggestion. And Eladrin Soldier is even stranger since the character switches to using a Bastard Sword - while there isn't anything wrong with still having the feat, it is completely useless several times over at that point, and clearly should be switched out for something new. Still, I liked the article over-all, and hopefully these minor problems will be fixed in the final version.

How does one get the character builder to accept it?
