We're playing our first 4e game in a few weeks and I just rolled my stats in front of the gm.
16, 16, 15, 11, 10, 5
He's going to be fun!
My first choice is a paladin, and second a star pact warlock. Is either a decent, viable possibility with these stats? Do you have any tips on assigning them?

Given how bad the 5 is, and how ok your other rolls are, I would focus on the 5 and look at how it would affect each stat, and how this helps to shape your character concept.
ie.
Strength: physically weak.
Dex: Clumsy, always getting in the way
Con: Physically frail, low hitpoints, susceptible to disease, etc.
Wis: Weak willed...easily swayed
Int: Dumb...'nuf said
Cha: No personality, (even deformed if you take Charisma to also account for physical beauty).
Of course, this is all based on the idea that you are concerned about character concept :)
If you are looking for advice on how to mitigate the 5, then I would look at class first, and then decide which stat to use as a dump stat.

If you can assign those stats to any ability score, you can basicly play any class you like. Each class has two primary and one secondary stat associated with them in 4th edition. Use the 16's as you primaries, the 15 for the seconddary, and drop the 5 into whatever score you feel like roleplaying as low.
A fighter would be Str, Dex, and then Con
a Warlock Cha, Con, and Int,
a Paladins Str, Wis, and Cha, and so on.
Just read the first couple paragraphs of the class and it'll tell you which stats are the most important.

The more I think about it, the more Wis 5 grabs me. I can get the party in so much trouble by muttering about angles and tentacles and stirring the tea with my shoe at inappropriate moments. Well, appropriate for me since the stars tell me it's vital.
Human Star-pact Warlock it is!
Now, I don't suppose you have a link to a good warlock guide? ;-)

The party has to be good or neutral, so I can't go too crazy. I read a great idea somewhere which I'm nabbing though - he's totally naive and weird stuff happens when he's around. Occasionally he sees or hears things, but while I as a player will be using his powers on stuff, the character will often be surprised as to what happens, and wandering around in his own little world :)
If you got it in electronic format I would really like to run this guy as an NPC for one of my 4e games
