[QUOTE="SweeneyTodd, post: 4290435, member: 9391"] Remember, the theme of the thread is "Stump the converters". If your concept isn't doable in 4e to your own personal satisfaction, maybe just gloat quietly to yourself? :) This thread's about brainstorming, not advocacy. We know a lot of concepts might not fit into 4e as a PC -- that's kind of the point of the thread! (That also means we should probably not debate Darren here, I mean you can, but I'd rather read neat conversion ideas.) I think this one works pretty darn well as an out-of-the-box Warlord. Possibly go for Tactical (int) focus rather than Inspiring (cha), but a lot of it's in the flavor. You'll want some skill/multiclass feats as obviously Dungeoneering would be a favored skill. I'm a big fan of Warlord concepts that aren't bardish; so many of the shift and extra attack powers you get are easier to explain with things like "Aha, I suspected they would do that, here's your opening, men!" The really neat thing about this kind of Warlord is that you can either pick up the knight-themed paragon path (representing the role his family would expect him to grow into) or go with something else entirely, depending on how the character develops in play. Thematically, you could pick up the necessary feats for Dungeoneering and Plate at 1st, I think. However, I'd be tempted to go with Scale armor, and make that sort of a comment on your character; he's taken the traditional knightly platemail and modified it to better match the kind of work he needs it to do (better mobility, etc.) :) [/QUOTE]
