There are, admittedly, very few of us interested in 4E. So yes. :D

Feel free to come up with a character! Any ideas on what kind of character you'd like to play?

There are only two 4e games, it isn't that hard to be completely involved.   :P

Working on a few ideas. You don't seem to be lacking in Defenders, but there's a shortage of Controllers and Strikers.
Thinking of a martial striker at the moment, there's very few Controllers I like.

It's a shame they changed Sneak Attack from "Once per Round" to "Once per Turn". It was so funny with Riposte Strike before that.

I can't find where it is written, what is the WBL for a 2nd level character?

WBL for any level is one item each of your level your level +1, and your level -1, as well as (if I remember correctly) gp equal to the value of a magic item one less than your level.

In your case, that translates to a magic item each of levels 1, 2, and 3, and 360 gp.

I'm a PbP whore so of course I'm interested.  But I have no idea how to play or if I have time.  Lol.

Well, there's room and it's still early in the campaign, so it shouldn't be too hard to learn. The core of the game is still there: You roleplay a character and roll a d20 to achieve most things. If you want a somewhat more straightforward character-building experience, the essentials classes simplify the choices you need to make. The number one question, if you do want to play, is what kind of character you'd like to play.

Well, I tend to like to play spellcasters and gishes.  Which of those would be more helpful for the group?

We need strikers, actually... A Sorcerer, a Fire Wizard, a Warlock... any of these will be GREATLY appreciated.  :)

The group could also use another primary healer. The more the merrier! The great thing,  I think, about 4E group dynamics is that healers can heal in combat while still contributing ti combat. Healing is a minor action (like a swift action in 3.5), and a lot of their combat powers can also dish out healing.

There are a few caster types that can do decent healing as well, but if you just want to dish out lots of damage, one of those strikers would do well. One can't underestimate the advantage of having a good damage-dealer. ;)

--edit--
And if it's a Gish you're looking for, the Hexblade is version of the Warlock that gets a special magical sword/weapon that they channel their magic through.


Sorcerers are also capable of being gish-like, since one of their implements (tools that casters use to focus their magic/attacks) is a dagger, and I believe there are feats to improve the selection of options for that. Also, some builds of sorcerer use strength as a secondary stat, which is perfect for a Gish.

Finally, Bards make more than passable gishes, and their multiclassing versatility can add to that nicely.

I've realized another roadblock -- I have none of the books.  Is there a quick-start guide anywhere?

There are actually some quite well-maintained and reasonable handbooks on all the classes on the WotC forums, helping with race/class/power/feat combos.

I could probably also get you access to the character builder on the wotc Insider website too, if it would help.

Things point towards me either doing a Ranger or a Cleric at the moment. Both seems to be needed, we'll see which one I end up picking.

@sirp: Sorry to hear that. Let me know if time opens up for you!

@shadow: The group had a ranger early on, though they vanished (quite literally, as a means of explaining the player's sudden absence). It would work quite well, as would the cleric. Keep in mind this is Eberron, so mind the differences in deific pantheons and regions. We're also playing with Backgrounds, so make sure to pick one appropriate to your character concept.

I should have the character done within a few days, life's been busy. Leaning more and more towards the Elf Ranger, but if I find a build I'm happy with I might still go for the Cleric.
