I have a newer version of the one from dnd4.com. I remember getting it from the official site, but I don’t see it there any more.

I was constantly changing the second weapon between Longsword and Dagger. I must have neglected to change the stat back after the last change. I might need to start wielding Battle Axe and Dagger (or Longsword and Dagger for that matter) so that I can use Sneak Attack and any other Rogue powers I pick up latter. Heck I might just have to get a rapier since it is the only way to use the Rogue skills and still be using the Ranger 2 weapon fighting advantage.

Nice to see you went with the swarf ranger. Only question I had about the sheet - you list the longsword as using DEX for its attack bonus - doesn't change the math, since your strength and dex are equal, but I thought the longsword would still use strength.

Good range of skills, but not many where you can reliably roll a DC 20 check. Life gets better at 4th level when you can boost two stats, and maybe get that CON to 14.

Seven surges per day is on the low end of the scale. If your DM sends you on long multi-encounter trips through complex dungeons, you may need a feat called "Durability" which gives you 2 more surges per day.

However, I really like how the rogue feat gives you one sneak attack per encounter - that will definitely get used. The character can fill the "rogue" role of being a bit of a scout and can dismantle some "easy" locks and traps.

I would love a good program for generating the power cards - WotC better get their butts in gear before ten more people write their own programs and release them for free.
