I have a couple I'll post up later, or some one could just stear me towards the correct thread. In the mean time, I'll be thinking of other somesuch.
EDIT: The latest edtions to the "Cast".
Calex Interthorn, Vindicator of the Ironfell Council
Drasek Riven, Chosen of Mask. pg2.
Drizzt Do'Urden, The Origanol Good Drow. pg 2.
Jonmarc "The Limper" Hathsin, Vindecator of the Ironfell Council. pg 2
Pharaun Mizzrym. pg2.
Galaeron Nihmedu. pg 2.
(Homebrew) Sir Marcus D'Arch. pg 1.
This embrassing test has been scratched..
Hows it look?
1. What race is this guy?
2. "Hp 94, Bloodied 47". You should have HP 106, Bloodied 53.
3. "8HP surges/ day (23)". You get 7 Healing Surges Per Day, and heal 26 HP with a Healing Surge.
4. "Saves Fort +22, Ref +27, Will +25, AC +27". There shouldn't be any plusses. They're flat rolls your opponent has to beat, not scores you add to a d20 roll.
Don't forget that the game also assumes that you have a bonus to Defenses from appropriate level magic items, as well as a magic weapon. So you should have a suit of armor, weapon, and neck item. One of which is +6, while the other two are +5. I suggest +6 magic starweave armor, a +5 wand with an appropriate lightning spell, and a +5 neck slot item.
5. "+4 Dancing Rapier". Are you just using it without a proficiency bonus?
6. You're missing an Epic Destiny.
7. "Daily: Wall of Ice, Otiluke's Resilent Sphere, Everd's Black Tenticales, Acid Wave". Only three of those can be Wizard attacks. The other one is the Paragon Path Encounter Power (in this case Destructive Salutation).
In addition, you can't have Acid Wave and Evard's Black Tentacles memorized at once, as they're both the same level. Same goes for Otiluke's Resilient Sphere and Wall of Ice. You can memorize one level 19 spell (chosen from a list of three written into your spellbook), one level 15 spell (chosen from a list of three written into your spellbook), and one level 9 spell (chosen from a list of three written into your spellbook).
8. "Utility: Fly, Invisibilty, Dimensional Door, Stoneskin, Mirrior Image, Soul Burn". Same as above. You can't memorize Dimension Door and Invisibility at once. You can have them both in your spellbook (along with one other 6th-level Utility Spell), but you can only memorize one 6th-level Utility Spell. Same goes for Fly and Stoneskin.
And that's all I got.
see DMG pg 187-188
I'll make the do changes, still a little rusty with the 4e mechanics (another reason I came to the boards).
I've add in his drow (yes he is drow) bonuses, I just haven't gotten around to his Encounter powers for the race. I'm sure he'll use Int as his primary though, for obvious reasons.
EDIT: ps. Oh and I was fibbing alittle on the spell choice to fit the flavor in the books he appears in (WotSQ). I'll check with the other guys to see if they're fine with it, but if not I'll change them up.
There's no reason you can't write up NPC's as PC's. The NPC rules just make it quicker and easier to make an NPC. You can write up an NPC as a full-fledged PC if you want to. Besides, this is one of his old characters converted.
Agreed on your points, although Pharaun Mizzrym is actually a novel character (from WotSQ).

I really hate that Int 9, but I really need a decent Con and Dex in order to later get armor and shield specialization. I also want Astral Fire and Heavy Blade Opportunity. Thankfully it'll go up to a 10 once I hit 11th-level.
Here's my Paladin for Living Forgotten Realms. I still haven't come up with a name,
I like Frank or perhaps Boscoe
I got a habit of taking names of knights from medieval literature (at least when it comes to Paladins and similarly chivalrous characters, though at least one such name I used for a Wizard), so I may go that route. So far I've gone with names like Parzival (from the same poem), Wolfram (I.E. Wolfram Von Eschenbach), Bertilak (Sir Gawain and the Green Knight), Balin (Le Morte D'Arthur), Wilfred (Ivanhoe), etc. At the very least I'm thinking his last name will be lionsomething. I figure any of the Martyr's Progeny the church of Torm found that were orphaned with no names and no knowledge of who they were probably got similar such names. So names like Lionsblood, Lionshand, Lionheart, etc (My 2E Paladin was actually Aridis Lionsblood).
Here's my Paladin for Living Forgotten Realms. I still haven't come up with a name, sadly (always the biggest PITA for me)...
Try using a name generator. I have a few good ones (including a list of Arthurian names)--if you want, I can post links to them later.

Hope that helps.
I've found that generators are good for generating ideas even if you don't totally love the names you wind up getting, but the ones I posted are ones I've found to be pretty reliable (that is, they won't spit out "Cnixxxyz" as a potential character name).-You don't have the Everchanging Book of Names?
I do, but it's a bit of a pain to use so I never touch it.
Please people, you are confusing the poor lad. He has take my suggestion. Now lets move on
I said I'd take it into consideration, and believe me, I made sure to file your suggestion appropriately.

I thank you, and Reginald VelJohnson thanks you.

Hope this looks alittle better.
Oh and this thread involves alot of mechanic like stuff so LordK you might want to move this to the other Realms thread.
"Soluafein Helviiryn is atypical of his race, slightly more compact in stature, he stands perhaps a hand width taller than the tallest dwarf. He also does not share the customary sable hue of his people, rather Soluafein is dark pewter in color. Moreover, while lean by human standards, he possesses a powerful build for a drow featuring sinewy-corded muscle layered over a deep chest, strong shoulders, and powerful arms with lean loins. All of which propel the warrior with vitality and supple grace.
His handsome if stern countenance possesses angular features, almond eyes and pointed ears giving testimony to Soluafein’s elven heritage. His hair; thick and lustrous is the color of pure snow which the warrior wears long, to the middle of his back and tied in a ponytail. From each temple he sports two thin braids, hanging long and ending in gold coils. Also unlike the ruby eyes of his more typical kin, Soluafein’s are a rich amber made even more striking by the piercing intensity with which he uses them.
In addition, his dress is simple with a long dark tunic left open on the sides, cut wide exposing his chest, trimmed in red and secured to his waist with a girdle under which he wears soft black leather breeches. Loose fitting soft leather boots, which he wears to just below his knees, finishes his ensemble. Soluafein’s jewelry is as simple as his dress; in each ear, he wears a simple gold loop and just above his left bicep sits a twisted bronze and iron band. finally on each hand he wears a single ring. To the left he sports a slim ivory loop inlaid with runes of platinum and on the right he wears a gold band in the shape of a twin headed ouroborus grasping at a stylized ruby reminiscent of a blazing sun.
The accoutrements that mark him as a warrior are as sparse as his clothing and adornment. Strapped to each forearm are ornate bronze bracers filigreed with gold and silver and set with large cabochon emeralds. At his waist hangs two short swords; to his right is a light silvery blade clearly of elven make. This sword, which Soluafein had dubbed Abbil in his native tongue, is trimmed with ivory and sapphire at the hilt and the blade blazes a curious emerald when light plays along its surface. To his left sits a weapon more sinister, the opposite of Abbil in almost every way. Its cruel blade is a dull dark gray with a hilt trimmed in black leather and gold ending in a pommel into which is set a ruby of cabochon cut. This weapon Soluafein had also given a drow name and it is Sargtlin.
In all Soluafein’s appearance and movement speaks of a lithe, dangerous and preternatural predator infused with an implacable cunning and sharp wit."
If anybody has some suggestions - the current iteration is an L27 character (Aristocrat 2/Fighter 20/Street Fighter 5). I thought perhaps some combination of ranger/thief would be fitting in the current version of the game, but I dont really care for the ranger part (for obvious reasons)
to much? :D

Another. But this one I'm even more shakey on than the last because he is a chosen of a god, and I'm not sure how they will play out in 4e.
I'm not sure it will be played out in 4e
Mask is a noteriously cheap god when it comes to handing out power. You've got to earn what you get, not get it dropped in your lap from any higher power; or atleast that's what Mask thinks.
I asked Mr.Kemp and he replied the only god granted power to his Chosen was the Divine resistance to scrying.
-I didn't even know they had that. One of those details that goes in one ear and out the other, I guess.

Everybody feel free to drop in how you think a Character should be done with their new 4e rendition, or make a request and I'll see if I can replicate them as best as possible.

Perhaps wizard would be a better class for him until the official sorcerer comes out. He was listed as a Ftr/Sorc 7/8 during The Summoning in Dragon Magazine but I think it was pretty clear that he picked up 7 levels of Shadow Adept by the end of The Sorcerer since he jumped to the plane of shadow and was using the greater shadow shield ability.

So are you saying he'd be more like-
Galaeron Nihmedu Level 22 Controller
Medium Humoniod Elf
Class: Wizard (Multiclass Fighter) Paragon Path: Kensei Epic Path: Archmage (He was in the matching title series)
-I don't know what the Controller part means, but the Wizard part sounds good, the multiclass Fighter sounds good. The Kensei part, eh, I don't know, and same thing with the Archmage part.
-Is it possible to "multiclass" within your own class? What I mean is, Galaeron used both Weave magic, and Shadow Weave magic. Would it be possible for him to use the Arcane power source and the Shadow power source?
As for controller, each class falls into a different catagory. Fighter, Paladin are Deffenders (protecting the more squashy characters); Clerics and Warlords are Leaders (using their healing abilities and high charasma to lead the group); Wizards are Controllers (using big flashy spells to keep enemies in a certain area and off balance); and Rogues, Warlocks, Rangers are Strikers (Doing a great amount of damage in one strike to a singule target).
-Is it possible to "multiclass" within your own class? What I mean is, Galaeron used both Weave magic, and Shadow Weave magic. Would it be possible for him to use the Arcane power source and the Shadow power source?
Nope, can't multiclass into your own class. However, that wouldn't be the case there, as a class can't have both Arcane and Shadow power source. Each class has one power source, only. And yep, it is possible to have both. So once the classes with the Shadow power source come out, it'll be possible for an Arcane character (like a Sorcerer or a Wizard) to multiclass into a class with the Shadow power source (like the Necromancer and Illusionist mentioned when talking about the Shadow power source). Thus you'll have a character who draws on the power of the arcane as well as the power of shadow.
-Necromancers and Illusionists are considered separate classes?
LK are you feeling alright? You seem kinda out of it. Just asking.
Bel
LK are you feeling alright? You seem kinda out of it. Just asking.
-I'm fine. I'm great, actually. I went 4-5 in my first baseball game, and 5-5 in my second. That raised the ol' batting average.
-Why do I seem out of it?
It's like some sort of episode out of the twilight zone..

I like your formating, but I corrected some errors. The () behind the stats is usually for the skill mods for skills based on them, but I guess this is intentional so I leave it unchanged.
I incorporate the change in DEX from Human I initially forgot.

I personally believe it's because your asking the questions.
It's like some sort of episode out of the twilight zone..
DuDuuduududududu.
-What I'm not allowed to ask questions? Well, Bel, why am I acting weird and out of it?

LK, sorry I took so long in responding, it wasn't so much you were asking questions, but the questions you were asking, then I realized you don't own the 4E books and felt a little foolish for bringing it up. That plus having to limit my time in front of the computer, least my legs turn into balloons. Getting old is no fun.

-Oh. Yeah, the only reading I've done of the 4e stuff is a quick scan of the Monster Manual at Barnes and Noble, and a little but of checking it out with Rin.

the ruleset is pretty good, though I don't think I like the new magic system myself and I think the paragon paths should be a little earlier. I liked that most PrCs were attainable around 7th level or so. I think thats a prime spot for PPs

They actually didn´t really incorporate the stuff I remember from the ELH into the new game so essentially they stretchet the 20 levels over 30 so 11 is the new 7.

Well, I supposed thats true. But I still don't really like the magic system. Haven't played it yet though
Really, you think a wizard would beable to destroy a melee fighter at high levels. Just makes sense.
I think the problem people have with the new magic system is that everyone levels up the same. Eveyone has so many at-will, encounter, daily, and utility powers and there's no real deviation from that. For me, that bring some balance to the game whre as in 3.5, some classes dominate at higher levels. For example, my one cleric is a cleric 5/ordained champion 4 and serves as the party's healer and main melee combatant and does both extremly well. This makes me wonder why have a fighter when someone can heal as well as fight with almost the same efficeny? Another reason why I like 4e :D
Thats part of it. But there isn't the choice you have and the feel of the wizard compiling his "spellbook". Now its just basically abilities. I liked the "feel" of the wizard.
-I could have sworn I saw on the 4e boards, a homebrew magic system for the 4e Wizard that is like the 3e version.
ya shouldn't swear
-Sorry. I am relatively sure that I saw on the 4e boards, a homebrew magic system for the 4e Wizard that is like the 3e version.
who looks at the 4e boards?

-No one here, apparently.

I've tried, but those people make even the most belligerent on the Realms boards feel like best friends. I think I saw it there as well, try under House Rules.

-Good, it's nice to see someone else saw them, and I'm not just randomly making things up in my head.
There are 2 different systems listed. One uses spell points and the other continues to use the older 3.5 system.

Yroeth is unsure of the circumstances of his birth, he was found wandering near a small village near to Silverymoon in 1407 DR. The village folks were hesitant to take in the young child, due to the spellscars plainly visible on his arms. Compassion overcame fear, in the end, and the villagers begrudgingly cared for the boy. They were grateful when a sage from Silverymoon showed up, having heard of the child, and desiring to study the spellplague and it's effects, he took young Yroeth back to his home. It was the mage, Jolantin Caradino, who named him Yroeth. Jolantin was not a cruel man, but he had no emotional ties to the boy and so Yroeth grew up cut off from his feelings, and awkward in social situations. Together the two of them explored Yroeth's abilities, and over time Yroeth discovered he had an aptitude for the Art, and became an apprentice to Jolantin. He discovered a way to tap into his spellscared power to enhance his magic, becoming a spellscarred wizard. He also discovered he was aging much slower than most humans.
It was in his 32nd year of being the ward of Jolantin that his master passed away, peacefully, in his sleep. Yroeth Sold off his former master's goods, except those that he thought would prove useful, and used the money to set out into the realms. He was finally free to explore his own origins, but found no answers. It was while exploring a ruin still suffering from the spellplague that he first had a vision, that the spellplague was the shattered remnants of the weave, and that it was the means by which a new god of magic would arise, and he felt it was his destiny to gather those last strands together and ascend to that lofty perch. He furthered his and his former master's studies of the spellplague, travelling with various groups of adventurer's throughout the Realms to see it's effects. He joined the Order of Blue Fire in 1469 DR, seeing in them a group of ready made followers, and has been building a power base among them, by teaching those he chooses how to supplement their own magic with their spellscarred powers. He also has become a devotee of Oghma, believing that he needs a divine patron to ascend, and because he has heard whispers that it is Shar who blocks the ascension of a new god of magic, and that only by the light of truth and knowledge will the goddess of lies and darkness be weakened enough for him to fulfill his destiny.
Yroeth stands about 5'8" and weighs 150 lb. By no means athletic, he is of average build, with a weak chin. He appears to be in his early 40's. He has brown hair, usually unkempt, hangs down to the middle of his back, and kept tied back with a piece of leather. He does not appear to have shaved in a while, but only has a scraggly beard and mustache. He has a tawny complexion. His eyes have taken on the hue of the spellscars that cover his upper body, all the way to his neck, run down his arms and over his hands, and flow up the side of his face to his forehead. His eyes sometimes glow when he is using his spellscarred powers. He is not an evil man, but sometimes is lacking empathy, he had no real friends growing up, so has little insight into social behavior, beyond basic civility. He is very curious though, often asking odd and inappropriate questions, or committing social gaffes, this has improved as he has aged though. He is a talented scholar, and has studied history and religion. He has acquired a Telu'Kiira from an elven village destroyed by the spellplague. And carries the Star of Mystryl, the holy symbol of the High Priest/Priestess of Mystryl in ancient Netheril. He uses an orb as his Implement of choice, but is comfortable with the staff he carries as well.

Ty for you time..
I've tried, but those people make even the most belligerent on the Realms boards feel like best friends.
Seconded.
Could one of you masters of the forums point me to where the alternate magic systems are listed (The Point buy system and the other one mentioned above). I have searched the boards with little luck.
Ty for you time..
I don't know if they're posted on the boards, but here's where you can find the alternative magic systems------> http://www.d20srd.org/indexes/variantMagic.htm
Also, the SRD is a great place for the basic info if your away from you core, psionic, epic, and variant books.
Thats part of it. But there isn't the choice you have and the feel of the wizard compiling his "spellbook". Now its just basically abilities. I liked the "feel" of the wizard.
Honestly, I think we need to give it time. True, the wizard's spell book only holds his daily, utility, and ritual spells (right?) but with more supplements on the way, I think the options will grow exceptionally large, espically when we get a 4e Spell Compendium.
