Rationale for all of this follows.Human Warlord 4 (Tactical)S 17 (1 added at 4)D 10C 12I 19 (1 added at 4)W 12Ch 8F +18R +18W +16AC 20HP 39Feats: Weapon Prof: Spiked Chain, Tactical Assault, Arcane Initiate, Novice PowerSkills: Arcana, Athletics, Endurance, Diplomacy, History, HealAt Wills: Wolf Pack Tactics, Commander's Strikeviper's StrikeEncounter 1st: Leaf on the WindEncounter 3rd: Icy RaysWizard at will as an encounter: Scorching Burst  Daily 1: Lead the AttackUtility 2: Aid the injuredEquipment: +1 Lightening Spiked ChainBloodcut HideAmulet of HealthMagic Wand +1320 gpI went with Charisma with the dump stat because I can't see a level of warlord where I would take a charisma based power over some other warlord power or a wizard power.  Also, I wanted the tiny boost to wisdom for perception checks. I decided to go with Spiked Chain for several reasons.  It is a +3 to hit.  So, for the exotic weapon feat, I get a +1 over every other reach weapon with every attack.  Also, having a reach weapon allows me to stay behind the fighter and paladin and (hopefully) have less need for toughness.  Finally, Leaf on the Wind has some interesting possibilities with a reach weapon (You or an ally adjacent to the target swaps places with the target) which I take to mean that I can hit from 2 squares away and still pull the switch. So if we line up E=enemy, W = Warlord, F=Fighter, R=Rogue, you haveEFWRthen after I execute leaf on the windWFERWent with the wizard powers to have some nice ranged and secondary controller options.I thought about taking a Thundering Spiked Chain for the ability to push an enemy 1/day but I wonder how often it would be useful over the Lightening Spiked Chain's ability to deal out a little damage to several baddies. It is a bit weak on HP, but this isn't a fighter and the bloodcut armor should help some.Thoughts???</blockquote>
