[QUOTE="jontherev, post: 4929034, member: 1451"] Are you from Impiltur (FR)? If so, there's an awesome feat that lets you roll twice on your intimidate check (sorry, I'm forgetting the name). My 9th level TacLord LOVES using this power, although it is situational (plus you pretty much have to speak the language & sometimes the DM simply won't allow it to work). You can end combats in one turn, or at least make several enemies surrender. But, if you don't have any charisma, this is less effective. We just stopped playing this campaign and I'm playing an avenger now, but I do miss the character. As mentioned already, using Provoke Overextension, is awesome, especially when combined with Diabolic Stratagem. Instead of playing solitaire, stay tuned into the game and roleplay...and COUNT UP THE DAMAGE your allies are doing on your behalf. I second the comment on rolling the commander's strike rolls. If you mention your boredom, they shouldn't mind letting you roll them. Everyone has their own playing preferences, but the warlord was the first class I chose to play in 4E and to me it is one of the best. Try some of the advice you've gotten, and also talk to your DM about your concern...maybe he will let you switch out some powers to try to revamp your character. Oh yeah...are you using a great spear? If not, you should. It was MADE for the warlord. It extends your reach for using Commander's Strike, for one. Also, there's an amazing power (7th level I think from Dragon) that only works for reach weapons...first you SLIDE your foe to any square adjacent to you, then you pound him, and he grants CA to everyone until he starts his turn not adjacent to you. I think that's right...sorry, I'm away from my books and the CB. Still, it's an awesome power. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
