Introducing, Mike the Rogue (mark 2)!

So my wife is out of the house tonight, leaving me alone with The Kiddo.  And with our D&D game now two weeks away, I decided to help him put his character together.  Not surprisingly, he decided to go with a 4e version of the character he played in a couple of Castles & Crusades adventures I ran for him a while back.  And so it was that Mike the Rogue has made the transition to 4e.  

All in all, he's a lot more buff than he was in C&C.  And since the boy's read a shortened version of The Three Musketeers, the idea of a rapier-wielding swordsman is right up his alley.

As I understand it, the other characters so far are a Warlord, and a Druid and possibly a Half-Orc Bard named "Pineapple."  I suspect the grown-ups playing the "flunkies" will be rolling up Defenders.

I played a half-orc bard before, in a 3E game. Angus was a slightly less awe-inspiring name than "Pineapple", though. You're right: some combination of Fighter, Paladin, and/or a ranged Striker would be helpful to that team.

I'm a bit surprised to see the kind of characters the kiddos have selected. A Controller, 2 leaders, and a melee Striker? I would have guessed more Strikers and less creative combinations than the half-orc bard example.

Kudos to the kiddos for that!
