D&D4e Conversion: Averyl
Having discussed 4e recently with people, I decided to convert the last 3.5 character I've played into 4th Edition rules. It's not perfect by any means, but I think it's a serviceable conversion that captures the style of the character (an assassin that specialized in both stealth and impersonation). Granted, I'd use the old appearance of tieflings, rather than the "Big Red Demon" version that 4e uses.

Items of Note: +3 Shadowflow Armor, +2 Duelist's Rapier, Hat of Disguise
The Hat of Disguise became a key tool for the character, so I couldn't really run him without it... so I statted it up myself:
Hat of Disguise
Level 7
2,600 gp
Item Slot: Head
Power (Daily) Minor: You make yourself, your clothing, and your equipment look different. You can take on the appearance of any creature of similar build and size, including a specific individual whom you’ve seen. You gain neither the abilities or mannerisms of the chosen form, nor the tactile or audible properties of your form or gear. For example, if you took on the illusion of a dwarf fighter in plate armor, anyone touching you would realize you weren’t wearing plate armor, and you would not clank, creak, or jingle as you walked. The illusion lasts for 1 hour, although you can end it as a minor action. You must keep the same appearance for the entire duration.
Anyone who attempts to see through your ruse makes an Insight check opposed by your Bluff check, and you gain a +5 power bonus to your check.

Though, looks spiffy. :o Haven't tried the rogue-route yet. I've only played a fighter and a warlord.

It'll be interesting to see what makes it into the Tome of Treasure in September though.
