Indulge me, folks, for in all these years of 4E I have never built a warlord. I'm presenting the character at level 11 to indicate the heroic tier arc and PP choice, but the character is intended for a new campaign beginning at level 1. His fellow party members will be an Elf archer Ranger, Halfling Rogue, Deva Invoker/Wizard (based on MwaO's Illusion of Hope), and a Dwarf Fighter.
In any event, this character is looking to lead from front, focusing on ally positioning and enabling while still contributing to damage output and holding his own on the front line.
I feel like this is a hot mess. The stat array and feats in particular gave me fits, but, of course, I wonder about all the other components, as well, since I've never put together a warlord before.
Many thanks to those who can provide some guidance!
