I have this vision of a crazed halfling that seems to be everywhere and then nowhere. Each time he speaks, it's almost unintelligible nonsense. He twitches with power and motes of electricity run the length of his pin straight hair. You do not want to be in a party with this loose cannon. He can be pretty unpredictable:

I like the mobility of this character considering his long range spamming and teleportation capabilities. Add the theivery skills and some stealth for usability flavor. He looks neat to me. I'd play him.

Thank you for the feed back. Weapon focus is a good suggestion. I selected the lightning dagger for flavor and because of the feat bonuses I selected that are associated with lighting. I don't plan on using that as my primary mode of attack. Primarily a ranged mobile striker.

The stat bump is a bit moot for me with exception of a little more HP if the extra goes to Con. I subscribe to the two points are better than one philosphy and so I hate leaving starting stats at odd numbers unless the reason is to get another feat.

I like the suggestion about the light shield by moving Con to Str and that might be a good enough reason to end on an odd number from the get go...to make sure I have a light shield during the Heroic tier.

Good point about synergizing his at-wills with a leader to optimize team effectiveness. However, he is a lunatic and Storm Walk is an at will that plays off of my lighting/thunder feat selections.

If you take a "element" weapon, where you can change the damage type the weapon does as an at-will free action, the keyword(s) of that power are added to the keyword list of the attack you're using.

This question was asked and clarified here, number 14: wizards.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wizards.cfg...

question number 16 of the same page tells you that the lightning weapon wouldn't convert the damage to lightning since it's a power of the weapon, which does not apply when using the weapon as an implement.
