For my D&D 4e group (see: What is it? thread) I just built a Ranger Class Elf based on my concept of this Oblivion character. It turns out this is one of the most devastating character builds in 4e D&D.

I can do two ranged attacks in a single round with a -2 penalty to attack rolls, but I get 2 points bonus by gaining combat advantage if I have partial concealment. If no concealment is available, I can conjur up a concealing mist to hide and fire arrows from behind.

I can give stealth bonuses to my whole party (Ambush Specialist) and gain +4 initiative bonus to myself with one at-will power.

I have a "Disruptive Attack" which is triggered by another characters actions--I can attack enemies when it isn't even my turn!

As an Elf, I have better eyesight, bow speciality, and can re-roll bad attack rolls (Elven Accuracy).

I have very high wisdom which gives me incredible Perception (passive perception is over 20); and during short rests I can "track" creatures who have been through a 10 by 10 square area.

Any D&D players in the house?
