The melee basic isn't as 'good' as the at-will's of the Avenger, but it's pretty darn close, you just lose the rider effects but you can charge with it and it'll make your OAs nice. The high Str will make it easier to qualify for Deadly Axe, Hammery Rhythm and Power Attack, as well as Heavy Blade Mastery and similar feats. With a high-Str build, you'll want to consider multiclassing to Fighter, Warlord or Ranger, to pick up an encounter or daily or two to augment your arsenal.Back to my original point: nice thing about the Avenger, he doesn't really need to be optimized to do well. A moderate Wis and a decent weapon and he shines with reliable striker damage and good survivability.Z</blockquote>
