Character critiques...

Stu, if any of your new players would like to have their characters critiqued, I'm sure several of the more seasoned players would be happy to assist.

If so, they can either copy a summary online or a link to the character on iplay4e.

One thing for them to keep in mind is that backgrounds and themes can help a lot.

For example if a rogue wants combat advantage almost every round, they can pick up the Fey Beast Tamer theme like Wii did.

Fey Beast Tamer Level 5 ability wrote:
Fey Beast Tamer Level 5 Features (5th level): You have combat advantage against enemies in your fey beast companion’s aura.

The aura is only 1, but it works for melee or ranged as long as your both attacking the same creature.

Oh, they both can't attack at the same time. For the beast to attack, the PC would have to use their standard action to tell them to do so.

But if the PC takes a move action, the beast can also move. So it basically just sits next to the monster growling and the PC gets combat advantage and the benefit of the aura.
