And an extra at will for the Hybrid is the bees knees. Your CON is going to be 16, and that is a bummer but the payoff is interesting as you gain versatility and access to your needed feats faster. As for Devastating Strike... don't really rate it. Howling Strike is better. Charge becomes your bread and butter, which apart from the extra damage and the magic item support (which is brutal) is more accurate.  You don't mind getting hit, but you don't want to get rained on all the time, surely. Rageblood vigor only gives you temporary hp when you kill something, so not that often. With the third at-will you could take Recuperating Strike if you wanted Temp HP at will, but I'd probably choose Word of Shielding for some more Leader Options or Howl of Fury for a touch of Minion control at-will.  I'd go with Runepriest Armour Proficiency as my hybrid talent option, personally. I don't like being hit, temp. hps or not. And I'd get Fullblade Prof. for the extra accuracy, which makes up for 18 STR and surpasses it when you charge with Howling Strike. Your going to want a Vanguard Weapon, Badge of the Beserker and a Horned Helm.  Heck, if you really didn't want to be hit, you could use a Bastard sword and light shield or train in an Urgosh to get your AC up to 18 at level 1. Then put 16 in WIS and 13 in CON and take the Defiant Word option instead. Extra damage when you are missed. Plus you could have Impultur as your Background (which uses WIS to calculate your HP, or even Auspicious Birth, and calculate HP using STR) to avoid the lowering of your HP, and you'd gain a very nice bonus to your Perception, Insight and Nature skills.</blockquote>
