I agree with Odin wholeheartedly about the XP for roleplaying.  I've done that ALOT in my past games, and was already intending to do that here.  I won't say that if the party brings down an Ogre Magi at level 1 that you'll get more xp for RPing the party afterwards then you did for killing the beasty, but I will say that you will get quite the XP boost on the side.<br/><br/>and personally can't see why you are so obsessed with Kate, Odin, Kry, Villian, or any of the other builds that you've complained about.  Especially since only Odin's is in your group at all.
