I think as it stands right now we're pretty balanced range and melee. We've got a Blackguard and Warden in addition to my Hexblade in Melee. Our Controller is a Hunter(Ranger), and my Hexblade has some ranged options. I think keeping your Warlord primarily melee is probably the best option. It's ultimately your call. Play the character you want to play.
We actually haven't started gameplay yet, been looking for more players. My guess based on the fact that the character data doesn't appear in this thread anymore that we don't still have the bard. But I don't know for sure.
I have a concept that I've been wanting to play for a while. An off-healer and defender, if that works for you all. Never played a PbP game, but I hope the describing all the actions will help me as a DM.
Ruin stepped out of the mists of what was once Cyre, unaffected by the madness within. On his head, his Ghulra burns deep red, almost crimson as he marches southwest towards Zilargo through Darguun. He appears to be armed only with a shield and and the plate is like a second skin. Out of nowhere, a pair of goblins leap out towards him, short swords drawn. Ruin's right hand drops down, a fist connected back to his wrist by some lengths of chain and leather. He swings the flair around, bashing one goblin's skull. The other slips behind him, slashing the blade against the back Ruin's knee. Ruin turns with great speed, smashing the shield into the goblin, flinging him away. A grating sound emanates from the Warforged's mouth; he laughs as the sliced cords in his knee heal themselves. Stupid goblins. He thought, as his hand retracted back and he flexes his three fingers once more, noting the full range of motion in his wrist. This is no ordinary Warforged. Is he some new creation from a secret Cannith forge? Is this what to expect from the Lord of Blades and his new army? Or is he something more ancient, perhaps from Xen'drik?
Ruin is a Warforged Fighter/Cavalier, multiclass with Vampire. Odd combination, but he shouldn't ever need healing from anyone in combat, as it's very likely that he'll gain 3 surges per encounter for a possible 5 total, and if he ends the encounter with 3 or more surges, he's back to full. If you want him to join, let me know. If not, I've got plenty of other character concepts and roles to use, if there's room.

Alright, another VoyRager's adventure. I've counted 4, so I make 5. This one only looks like striker but he's really pure troublemaker type controller team role PC.
