I'll be frank. If you want to have a really unique character focus on your back story and personality. There are only so many options available to characters in 4e. Sure you can come up with a great character design that no one else has created. But then you have to ask yourself the following questions


Does the character work (for whatever work means)?
Does the character fit in/fill a need in my party?
Can I play this character effectively?


If the answer to any of these questions is no then you need to re-evaluate your character creation strategies. Go for a simpler character and spend more time thinking about the character's story.

As much fun as it is to come up with a mechanically "unique" character, I personally thing its much more compelling to have a mechanically useful character with an interesting personality and back story to go with it.

Inspiration for a unique hybrid character in 4E?
I would like to be able to merge, mosaic, or stack several .hdf files. Does anyone know the package or library i should be looking for the tool to do this?
