D&D 4E Miscibility Table: A 4e Hybrid Handbook(by MwaO)

The Lazy/Princess build Warlord powers do work for just about anyone and there are some chaisma bennies in Rogues... and I built a couple of halflings doing it that way... but I guess the brutal Rogue leader doesnt come across mayhaps that is actually appropriate

You could also do a Str/Dex Warlord who goes the Battlefront Leader route. Something like 16 Str, 12 Con, 16 Dex, 12 Cha pre-racial.

With Leather Armor+Heavy Shield, that's an 18 AC at 1st level with an 18 Dex. Take the same powers, even. Just get rid of melee training.

Isnt STR/DEX Warlord a pretty underfed combo...

Somewhat. But...

Vengeance is Mine+Death from Two Sides doesn't care about secondary stats. And Freedom Fighter is a great paragon path.

Should be more than fine.

Ones that might provoke screams:
Modify Cleric's Battle Cleric's Lore(BCL) to just be the +2 to hit after doing healing. If a PC with BCL takes the Hybrid Armor and chooses Cleric, they gain the full effect of BCL.

My invoker cleric felt like leap frogging to scale was ahem pretty cheap.

Assassin(Executioner): Gains a BA called Assassin's Attack that can be used for either an MBA or RBA. 1w+Dex, uses Dex. This is an Assassin power. They can then only add bonuses to Assassin powers, not BAs and Assassin Powers. I'd give this to regular Assassin(Executioner) as well.

oooh....

 

[Garthanos]

Grant anyone who has a class with Leather armor proficiency with Leather armor only for purposes of wearing it proficiently, not for prereqs. Benefit is that most classes with Leather armor have Hide Armor anyway and it helps keep some classes from being really painful to hybrid.

Hmmmmmm is that a bit like giving them "unarmored agility"

This fellow is quirky and seems like his theme might be quite fun

Nope. It is explicitly not giving them unarmored agility which has some stacking issues that Leather does not.

There was this fellow a while back who claimed to want this ridiculous character, largely he was an troll who heard a series of things that he thought 4e just couldn't do and chained them all together and pretended it was actually a character concept, he wanted a guy with poor/mediocre strength and con who wore plate and sat in the back mostly firing his crossbow at the enemy but could use dirty tricks up close once in awhile. So I built him a cowardly knight... via Paladin and Ranger all the while with every bit flavor interpreted as the character having a deficiency of character, that I promptly attributed to the troll asking for it.

It was worth a smile at the time.

Oh and he wanted it right away too... level 1
Mechanically it was something like this

picked gobllin for his language. (might have went with something else for his background just to get thieving on his skill list so he could be a klepto who took without caring who it hurt... not thieving because of need of course but rather because he didnt want others to have nice things, the theme carries the scorn worthiness adding young cutthroat in place of scorned noble works well )

Just realized I never modified Hybrid Invokers...they shouldn't get the Divine Covenant class feature as the rules never say they do.

Hybrid Ardent, Monk, Seeker, Shaman, Warlock all have similar options where something like this happens:
"Divine Covenant(Hybrid) - This class feature functions as the invoker class feature, except that you don’t gain the channel divinity power associated with the covenant you choose."

Invoker just says "Covenant Manifestation" instead.

Your DM may rule otherwise. Hybrid Invoker is still very good given Hand of Radiance+Thunder of Judgement+Silent Malediction+Divine Call+Demand Justice.
