Anyone with a decent and simple build feel free to post.  Please keep the conversations civil.

Difficulty:
* - This build is extremely straightforward.  Nothing is really needed outside of the power cards.  Ideal for using for new players.  This character doesn't have too much to do outside of their turn.  Most single star builds are essentials builds.

** - This build is straightforward and generic.  A class feature or two, maybe a feat will not be present on the power cards, but this has little game effect.  This character has maybe a trick up their sleeve outside of their turn. Essentials builds with a trick or very simple non-essentials builds will most likely fall into this category.

*** - This build is average, starting to get complicated.  Some of the class features or feats will require you to point them out to new players and keep track of them.  This character can have a couple off-turn tricks that require them to pay attention to triggers.  These are most likely to be builds used by players with a little experience who are wanting to test out new classes.

**** - This build is fairly complicated.  Many features require you to pay attention to things not on your turn, involve parts of the sheet that aren't the power cards and may have some special rules implications that new players will not be familiar with.  In general these types of builds are included in here so that people know they exist and they are not really for new players.  These are most likely to be builds used by players with experience in that class that want to test out a new feature or varient of their build.

***** - This build is too complicated to be understood in the few minutes people have to get used to their character before being tossed into the maelstrom.  If a build is listed at 5 stars, rather than including the build in this thread we will simply give a nod to it and possibly a link.  Players should be aware that 4 and 5 star builds exist so that they can see if anything appeals to them enough to put the time into learning one of these builds for an ongoing game.

Format for Submission (I am aware that much of it will be repeated, but the idea is that the player should be able to not have to read anything but the snapshot and how-to to pick up and play the build):
