Character Build

Well, here is Kharask's official character build.
Starting Statistics : Strength - 20 / Constitution - 18 / Dexterity - 10 / Intelligence - 13 /
Wisdom - 10 / Charisma - 20 /

His Dragonborn Racial powers are as follows :
1) +2 to history and Intimidation skills
2) Dragonborn Legacy - Kharask adds his constitution modifier to his healing surge value.
3) Dragonborn Fury - He gets a +1 to his attack rolls when he's bloodied.
4) Breath Weapon - Kharask has a fire breath. Its a close blast, with a 3 square area. He rolls an attack v.s. each opponents reflex defense in the area. All hit take D6 + 5 pts. of damage. (I've added that there are spots of black scales around his mouth, and that theres a sooty aroma when near him)

His Warlord Class benefits are as follows :
1) Combat Leader - Kharask and all allies within 10 squares get a +2 to there initiative rolls.
I see this as Kharask being vocal as soon as combat begins, snapping orders and bringing his allies full focus to the battle at hand.
2) Inspiring Presence - Whenever an ally uses an action point, he also gains Kharask's charisma modifier + 1/2 his level in hp.
I see this as Kharask bolstering his allies attempt to do more. Using verbal recognition to allow his ally to draw positively upon his resolve. I see Warlord healing as more of an adrenalin surge, since its martial in nature.
3) Inspiring Word - Twice per combat as a minor action Kharask can allow one target to spend a healing surge. The target also gains D6 hit points on top of that.
I see this ability as pretty much what it sounds like. Since Kharask is a charisma based warlord, i see this as an urging for his ally to dig deep and shrug off serious injury.

Ok, Kharask has two At Will Powers that he gets. They are as follows.

1) Wolf Pack Tactics - This is a basic attack that allows one ally adjacent to either Kharask or his target to shift one square.
I see him learning this early on in his fighting career. Since his tribe focused on training there warlords to fight side by side with there other melee combatants, this was probably one of his first learned powers.
2) Furious Smash - This power attacks one target but deals only Kharasks STR modifier to the target. One ally adjacent to the target gets a power bonus to his next attack and damage roll v.s. the target equal to Kharasks CHA modifier.
I see this as a set up attack. A hit aimed to knock his opponent off balance, or into his allies attacks, more than just to cause damage. Trained to work with powerful Dragonborn warriors, I can see Kharask picking this up to utilize the natural strength and ferocity of his comrades.

Ok, next is Kharask's Encounter power -
1) Leaf on the Wind - This is a heavy attack v.s. one opponent that also allows either Kharask, or an ally adjacent to Kharask or the enemy, to swap places with that target.
I see him learning this power for a variety of reasons. One, it allows him to swap places with the enemy, so he could attack the enemy, then swap places with it, possibly pulling it away from a wounded comrade. It can also be used to set up flanks. Since he was trained to be a front line fighter, i see him picking up tricks that will make him more useful and versatile to his comrades on those lines.

Ok, last but not least. Daily power! -
1) Bastion of Defense - This is an extremely heavy hit. In addition to the attack, all enemies within 5 squares of Kharask gain a +1 to all there defenses. Regardless of whether the attack hits or misses, all allies gain temporary hit points throughout the encounter.
In the end, its up to Kharask to make sure the team doesnt get killed. He's not there to kill the enemy, he's there to make sure his allies can kill the enemy. This was developed to make sure that happens. I see Kharask leading with the heavy attack, then commanding his allies to up there defense, watch there flanks, and press the enemy. A definite adrenaline based power, and a very physical and mental one as well, I can definitely see it taking a drain on Kharask, and its no wonder it would be a daily.

Ok, thats it. Doing alot of this just to get into my character. Hope you enjoy the read all the same =)
