#1 darkling2k8 Nov 04, 2010 2:58:56	Fearunians, please help. My favorite forgotten realms character of all time is Eravis Cale, pre or post shade, and I want to play a variant of him in 4th Edition.  Unfortunately, he is obviously 3.5, and way more powerful than a 4E character can be built; at least to my limited skills. After reading the trilogy yet again, I've decided he has riposte strike as atleast one of his at-wills (Jak's bouncing around with twin strike; shortsword/dagger style.)  I figure he would be built as a human, since he is a human, but by level ?? would be house-ruled to pick up Shadar-Kai feats, and also be given the Shade template somehow.  However, I worry that would make him too powerful and never be playable.  Also; would he be a hybrid rogue/cleric MC'd in assassin, or maybe he picks up a paragon path in divine, or... I don't even know where to begin, except that his Epic destiny is Chosen of Mask (who isn't even in 4th), and there's even a couple options that make more sense there too... If anyone has any insight on building Eravis Cale for 4th Edition.  Please help. Maybe I'll be really lucky and Paul Kemp himself haunts these forums (Dude, you Rock!) and might even see this... Thanks in advance
