Heh, wild mages. Oughta be fun. As for my stuff, I'll post it here for maximum transparency, and see if anyone has any interesting input, both fluff- and crunch-wise.
Combat-wise, I'm putting together the best tank I can with a good degree of party support (specifically, a Crusader going as deep as I can into the Shield-related feat trees). If everyone doesn't mind, I'll also be playing around with the social feats in PHB2 that give me options when talking at people. I'll be focusing around Strength and Charisma.
I was looking for a cool race, but I haven't found anything quite interesting yet, and I don't want to play yet another human, so that's currently pending.
Finally, is the setting within the D&D multiverse? Specifically, does Sigil exist there? If so, I'd like my character to be from Sigil, although he's not quite welcome back there any more. Personality-wise, he's a bit obsessed with the concept of the unstoppable force versus the immovable object (which ties into his combat style), and is a bit of a... well, thug when it comes to trouble, but is a generally nice guy around friends, if not the sharpest tool in the shed.
