May 03, 2012 0:06:29 I am trying to help a friend new to the game select a class (in 4e) and one of the things he mentioned is that he likes the idea of changing the enviroment (creating ice bridges, walls of fire, that sort of thing).

This at first made me think of Controllers, but I suppose that stuff like that might not be stricktly Controllers.

I don't have a ton of D&D experience, so I am wondering what you guys think are classes that lend to this kind of play?

Thanks in advance!

May 09, 2012 2:59:20 The people suggesting Wizards or there like are fairly interesting, however I would take a look at Wardens.

Warden Dailies change the world around them in a way that few classes do. It could be fairly easy to refluff things to make different dailies/powers more world-altering (if not more powerful per say), or just play them as is and go from there.

+1 to build plugging.

I bow to the master
