Legend
So some pcs imc have recently become governors of an area, and this is a paragon path I wrote with them in mind that gives some warlordish abilities to the ruler of an area. I'm interested primarily in feedback on its balance. I concerned that it is too powerful, but would like a second opinion.
GOVERNATOR
“Let me explain how things work around here.”
Prerequisites: The character must rule over an area of at least 100 square miles or at least 2000 people. In addition, the character must be trained in Diplomacy.
Some adventurers, through hard work, ruthlessness or just plain dumb luck, end up ruling an area. This brings with it a whole slew of new responsibilities and different challenges. Some adventurers shrug these off and let their area fall to ruin, but others manage to rise to the challenge, even learning powers that aid them in facing the challenges awaiting a ruler.
A governator that loses control over the area he rules maintains his powers and may continue to advance in this paragon path; however, he or she is now known as a “governator in exile”. Most governators in exile spend their remaining years attempting to recapture a throne or other seat of power.
GOVERNATOR PATH FEATURES
Governator’s Command (11th level): You may spend an action point to give an ally that you can see an extra standard action, rather than taking one yourself.
Governator’s Presence (11th level): You gain an aura with a radius equal to your charisma bonus. Allies within the aura gain +2 to their Will defense.
Great Charisma (16th level): Your charisma increases by 2 points.
GOVERNATOR EXPLOITS

Daily; Martial
Standard Action; Close burst 5
Target: One enemy in burst.

Authoritarian Command--- Governator Attack 20
You bark a command at your foe, demanding momentary obedience.
