Your theme does nothing. You start with training in Stealth, as a Thief.

ok thanks, dropped the class skill and took the +2 to rolls

It looks like you have inherent bonuses turned on in the builder. This will mess up all your power cards' attack and damage bonuses when combined with magic weapons.

I don't see your bonus at-will from being human. But unless these is something specific you want to use it for, you are better served with the heroic effort option.

Suggest you trade your background for either gritty sergeant for rapier proficiency (saves you a feat) or auspicious birth / born under a bad sign to boost your HP.

Suggest a different theme (that one is, bluntly, bad). Sohei or Guardian are the regular go-to ones. Purple dragon knight is also strong. Others that can be good (depending on build goals) are: pack outcast, yakuza, fey beast tamer, unseelie agent, and the new were-x themes (at paragon).

Drop improved initiative (unless you go sohei) until paragon. You only need one expertise feat (light blade expertise). Take Surprising Charge and murder things. Since you have two weapons, Two weapon fighting is a good pick (and sets you up for two weapon opening in paragon). If you go that right TW defense is also a decent choice.

If you want to be evil, be a pixie.

^The pixie wouldn't be evil. But the /player/ would be evil for bringing a pixie thief charger to a table.

thank you for the help/advice will make changes and post new min/max'd character shortly


Don't see murder things any where on the list?
