4e DnD characters. Need some help.

Right then, I just jumped into 2 different campaigns. One is pretty limited, as far as what books are allowed (Douche gm isn't allowing anything he doesn't have, even if we can provide pdfs)

The other one is also a little limited, but is allowing hybrids at least.

So my first game's charactrs are going to be a little vanilla.

Play/combat style
Long term goal is to be using Fey Charge (Level 11) It lets me use fey step movement in place of physical movement for a charge, and if the attack is a success, it doesn't spend expend Fey Step (An encounter power)
Aesthetics and control are another style, personified by the race itself.
Early level, it's a bit weaker, due to how the stats to be distributed to obtain Polearm Momentum, which allows me to... oh... right, the gm doesn't have magic items in shops, we have to find them, and he doesn't give us what we want, unlikely to be able to buy anything from npcs, he better give us good shit though...

But yeah, still a possibility with the telecharger Eladrin Barbarian. Love the flavour of it.

Combat style

Eladrin again, dual-weilding throwing spears. THis is actually a lesser version of one of my hybrid builds (Well, not lesser, but not as cool) It makes use of the Ranger fighting style-Two-blades, which allows me to weild a one handed weapon as if it were off-handed. Running around, stabbing things, lots of fun. Again, using Eladrin Soldier feat, because of the damage boost, and access to EVERY single spear. ^^ Gotta love it.

Sorcerer at-will 1: Chaos Bolt
Sorcerer encounter 1: Ray of the Moon
Sorcerer daily 1: Cosmos Call

Build

Not sure if it's going to work, since the feat is in the dragon magazine.

But what it lets me do, is use the shortbow as an implement for divine/arcane powers, and adds +1/tier to damage rolls for powers or physical attacks.

Figured Cosmos fit with the whole moon thing, may even give it a holy smybol of Sehahine.

Also, Sorcerers are just awesome.

ITEMS
Trident (2), Transcendent Ki Focus, Adventurer's Kit, Cloth Armor (Basic Clothing)

Build.

Here's the big daddy.
Monk-Ranger hybrid.
Same build as the dumbed down version, except, this allows greater mobility. In addition, you can apply Ki focus enhancements to any weapons i'm weilding. (It would apply to both in my case)
Great damage potential as well.

Let's say I use twin-strike, ok?

Both attacks hit, so that's 2d8+4 (Normally, twin-strike just does [w] damage, but I add 2 for each attack, from Eladrin Soldier.
If I had marked the target with the Ranger's Quarry, I add 1d6.
I can also add Stone fist Flurry of blows from the monk, adding a static 7 (heroic tier anyways)

So, let's add it up.

2d8+1d6+4+7

Assuming medium average, that's 22 damage from an at-will at level 1, with no magic items.

Even if I only hit with one attack... 4+3+2+7, 16 damage.

That's what I can do anyways, I wont be maxxing out, don't want to scare the kiddies and get kicked out. xD

And just the flavour of a dual weilding monk, come on. :D

Level 1: Hybrid Talent

POWERS
Dilettante: Recovery Strike
Hybrid at-will 1: Eyebite
Hybrid at-will 1: Virtuous Strike
Hybrid encounter 1: Dreadful Word
Hybrid daily 1: Paladin's Judgment

Build.

Yes, you saw that right. A Paladin-Walock Hybrid.

Allowed because 4e isn't as strict, and the Deity is neutral. I love Sehahine. Great synergy, backs up a tank with some damage, chucks spells through a greatsword (eventually)

And the flavour of chucking arcane spells through a greatsword is just awesome. :D



So, there you have it, my potential builds.

Thoughts, critques? Better ideas?
 
why does your Barbarian have a 10 for charisma? As a rageblood, your stat priority should be STR, CON, CHA. Everything else is secondary to those three.
 
He's using a polearm momentum build.

Though honestly, a fighter MC-Barbarian would be better. You get access to all those tasty Barbarian charging feats, but you get the superior fighting powers/armor/and stats of the fighter.
 
I like the flavour of a little bit of rage with the control of an Eladrin spear-weilder.

And yeah, to grab polearm momentum, you need to have 15 dex, 15 wis.

Though actually, I might change this, because without assured access to some kind of magical item that boosts pushes/pulls... I wont be able to use the feat. So i'm not sure.
 
So, for some reason i'm running a wizard in my initial 4e campaign.

But I think I grabbed another, in which i'll be using an Eladrin Monk-Ranger hybrid with a paired wingspear (I can spend a minor action to bamf an identical weapon into my other hand.) And a blazing arc Ki focus.

So in battle, i'm using two Blazing Arc Ki-Focus wingspears.

And the other game... well, I don't know. I think i'll just go with a generic Sorcerer. Whether it's Storm, Chaos, or Dragon power source, i'm not sure. But i'm limited to what books I can use for this game, so i'm not sure what else to run.

I might try rogue, never really did that before.

That, Or I may do a pure Ranger, and do the same thing.
