I am thinking Elf Ranger TWF, unless Chad really wants to play his ranger.  If that is the Case I will do Fighter. 

The thing I was looking at as a weapon choice were Broadswords,Khopesh, Craghammers, or Waraxes from the Adventurer’s vault.

Adventurer's Vault -

Brutal: A brutal weapon’s minimum damage is
higher than that of a normal weapon. When rolling
the weapon’s damage, reroll any die that displays a
value equal to or lower than the brutal value given
for the weapon. Reroll the die until the value shown
exceeds the weapon’s brutal value, and then use the
new value.
For example, the execution axe has a property of
brutal 2. If a fighter wielding this weapon hits with
steel serpent strike (a 2[W] power), the player rolls
2d12 for the weapon damage, rerolling a die result of
1 or 2 until the die shows 3 or higher.

Military Melee 1h
Broadsword +2 d10 — 20 gp 5 lb. Heavy blade Versatile
Khopesh +2 d8 — 20 gp 8 lb. Axe Heavy Blade, Brutal 1, versatile

Superiour Melee 1h
Craghammer +2 d10 — 20 gp 6 lb. Hammer Brutal 2, versatile
Waraxe +2 d12 — 30 gp 10 lb. Axe Versatile

If they aren’t allowed no problem.  those are mainly if i choose ranger, and maybe if i do fighter(depending on what chad wants to do).

Edit: also the compendium is up for another month so all of this should be on wizards website.  If you can’t find the books right away we have till at least Oct 1st to still access all the relevant information.  I can also get you the important parts Rothe to cover any gaps you may not have after Oct 1st.

I’m fine with playing something else Frost.  One thing I do want is to be a Dragonborn though grin

But class-wise I’m easy.  I was considering Pally or Cleric actually.  I wanted to see how some sort of Healer or Defender might be since I never play those roles even in video games.

Eardianm - anything needed

* - Darklink would do Swordmage over Wizard if Swordmage is allowed

looks like what we will need is either a Fighter if swordmage remains off limits, or Wizard if it becomes legal.

Did a little summary, but Chad I don’t mind what I play.  If you want ranger take it, if you don’t I recommend Cleric since we don’t have one of those yet and they are fun.

If Chad does Cleric and swordmage isn’t allowed then we would need a Fighter.

Yes, either cleric or pally for me.  Just depends on what fits best to fill in a gap

Andrew took pally, so I guess you will be the Cleric.

Rothe how do you feel about this power from Dragon 366:

Troublesome Aid of Caiphon Warlock (Star) Utility 10
When an ally grants you the grace of renewed health, you leverage your knowledge of Caiphon’s healing lore to gain even greater advantage than was offered—but at what price?
Encounter ✦ Arcane, Implement
Immediate Interrupt Ranged 10
Trigger: One ally in range grants you the use of a healing surge.
Effect: In addition to the normal number of hit points you regain, you regain a number of hit points equal to your healing surge value. However, until the end of the encounter, you die after failing your second, rather than third, death save.

After a quick pass thru the PHB, leaning towards a halfling rogue, possibly going down daggermaster paragon path.

*edit* but can do fighter if that would be more beneficial

I should get my hands on the 4e FR books and AV soon, so I expect I can allow stuff from them.
I will just have to read a lot.

Talae, that power looks ok to me.

One thing that might affect my adventure a bit is if you will have a wizard. Rituals are more important at higher levels and a wizard will have quite many. Clerics have ritual casting too though.

I recommend either a wizard, or in case nobody wants to play one, a warlord would do ok too.
