It gives the target a -2 penalty to a defense of choice until EOYNT. In a party with many characters targetting AC, (For instance a Bard/Fighter/Ranger/Rogue/Wizard party), it effectively gives 4 characters a +2 bonus to hit.Another kicker is as noted above - the bard's next attack also has a greater chance of hitting.Personally I think the Inspiring Warlord has a lot going for him. At level 7 he has three powers he can use each encounter to boost to-hit and/or damage for the whole party vs one opponent by approximately his charisma score.Personally I would go with the Cleric to get better healing, there are some preeeetty broken powers out there. To buff the party I would go for a Warlord of some kind.Example level 10 Inspiring Warlord submitted:[spoiler]====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Ghesh, level 10Dragonborn, WarlordCommanding Presence: Inspiring PresenceDragon Breath Key Ability: Dragon Breath StrengthDragon Breath Damage Type: Dragon Breath AcidFINAL ABILITY SCORESStr 21, Con 13, Dex 10, Int 8, Wis 10, Cha 19.STARTING ABILITY SCORESStr 17, Con 13, Dex 10, Int 8, Wis 10, Cha 15.AC: 27 Fort: 23 Reflex: 19 Will: 22HP: 75 Surges: 8 Surge Value: 19TRAINED SKILLSIntimidate +16, Heal +10, Athletics +13, Diplomacy +14UNTRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +3, Arcana +4, Bluff +9, Dungeoneering +5, Endurance +4, History +6, Insight +5, Nature +5, Perception +5, Religion +4, Stealth +3, Streetwise +9, Thievery +3FEATSLevel 1: Improved Inspiring WordLevel 2: Shield Proficiency (Heavy)Level 4: Saving InspirationLevel 6: Inspired RecoveryLevel 8: Armor Proficiency (Scale)Level 10: ToughnessPOWERSWarlord at-will 1: Furious SmashWarlord at-will 1: Wolf Pack TacticsWarlord encounter 1: Hammer and AnvilWarlord daily 1: Lead by ExampleWarlord utility 2: Inspired BelligerenceWarlord encounter 3: Warlord's StrikeWarlord daily 5: Staggering SpinWarlord utility 6: Rousing WordsWarlord encounter 7: War of AttritionWarlord daily 9: Warlord's RecoveryWarlord utility 10: Instant PlanningITEMSLuckblade Longsword +2, Recoil Shield Heavy Shield (heroic tier), Healer's Brooch +2, Fey-Blessed Circlet (heroic tier), Luckbender Gloves (heroic tier), Shielding Girdle (heroic tier), Boots of the Fencing Master (heroic tier), Drakescale Armor of Durability +2, Reckless Throwing hammer +1====== Copy to Clipboard and Press the Import Button on the Summary Tab ======[/spoiler]</blockquote>
