Imagine a DB Pal would gain a +10 vs fear? they'd only have to roll a 1 to succeed.I'd try something like: Dragonborn Pride (+2 Racial bonus to Will Defense)or Dragonborn Pride ([1+Cha Mod (min. +1)] Racial bonus to saving throws from attacks that target this creatures Will Defense and require a saving throw against a secondary effect) Your pride in your heritage bolsters you even in the most dour of moments.also, Leading the Charge is a neet ability, but it does bring up a tatical issue in that commonly, the group is approacing the foe from the same direction, often the same 2 rows of squares (read: marching order). After the 1st person charges the foe, there isn't often a good charge path for follow up charges. Granted, 4E facilitates this in making charge a standard action now, but in scenerios where there is only 1 action, like a suprise round, or narrow mobility, such as tunnels, the bonus can be rendered moot. But I think I have a solution:Inspiring Charge Warlord Attack 1You charge one enemy with a brave shout, making your charge and that of your allies more effective.At Will * Martial, WeaponStandard Action Melee WeaponSpecial: You must charge as part of this power.Target: One creatureAttack: +7 vs. ACHit: 1d8+7 damage and you may shift 1 square. Allies gain +1 bonus to attack and damage on any charge against the foe you strike until the start of your next round.Miss: You may shift 1.Lastly, since Warlords seem all about setting up their allies for success, I submit a 3rd At Will:Courageous Distraction Warlord Attack 1With a flourish of your weapon and a mighty swing you draw the eyes of your foe just long enough to your allies find the sweet spot.At Will * Martial, WeaponStandard Action Melee WeaponTarget: One creatureAttack: [BAB+Cha Mod] vs. WillHit: 1[w]+[Cha Mod] damage and the target grants Combat Advantage to one ally of your choice untill the start of your next turn (save ends).Critical: Combat Advantage is granted to all your allies instead.</blockquote>
