Guys, I don't think you are considering how overwhelming this all is for a new player.
Niagaron:
"Um...yeah, nephew? How about I just play a fighter?"
Fighters are even worse than Sorcerers with the, "You picked something that looked good, but isn't, and now you're stuck with it," because they're so feat-dependent.
If you want simple, you want a Barbarian. It's really hard to screw up a Barbarian.
