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 FEATURESGovernator’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 EXPLOITSGovernorator’s Strike--- Governator Attack 11 Your blow is the sign for your allies to strike.Encounter; Martial, WeaponStandard Action;     Melee weapon        Attack: Charisma vs. AC; Target: One creature.Hit: 1 [W] + Charisma modifier damage.Effect: Choose one ally adjacent to the target. That ally makes an opportunity attack against the target. If the attack hits, you may choose another ally adjacent to the target, and that ally may also make an opportunity attack against the target. This continues until each ally adjacent to the target has attacked once or until an ally misses.Mass Charge--- Governator Utility 12 You yell out to your allies, calling for a mass charge against an enemy. .Daily; MartialStandard Action; Close burst 5Target: One enemy in burst.Effect: Choose a number of allies within the burst equal to your charisma bonus. Each of them may charge the target as a free of action. Any ally that does so grants combat advantage until the start of its next turn.Authoritarian Command--- Governator Attack 20 You bark a command at your foe, demanding momentary obedience.Daily; Martial, CharmStandard Action;     Ranged 5Target: One enemyAttack: Charisma vs. WillHit: The target is dominated until the end of your next turn.--Aftereffect: The target is dazed (save ends).Miss: The target is dazed (save ends).</blockquote>
