So, in my current 4e game, I have reached level six as a resourceful warlord. I know resourcefulness isn’t the very best warlord build, but it’s something I wanted to play with and I’m enjoying the way it’s been working for me and my party members. I’m far from a damage dealer, but I can mix it up in the front line and hold my own, though I’ve taken a few risks that perhaps I shouldn’t have. I just wanted to ask for some additional advice on how I should be building this character.
Currently: The character is level six. I am using a spear and a shield so that I can have reach while having additional defense that a shield enhancement would give me. I have multi-classed into bard to better act as the party face and provide additional healing and support (as I have a high charisma).
All the following information is from memory, since my sheet is not with me.
My current feats are:
Weapon Expertise: Spear
(The feat that gives attacks granted by me +1 attack bonus)
Improved Initiative
Bard Multiclass Feat (skill training, M.Word 1/per day)
Current Powers:
At-Will: Opening Shove, Commander’s Strike, Wolf-Pack Tactics
Encounter: Myrmidon Formation, Bloody Ending
Daily: Lead The Attack, Stand the Fallen
Utility: Adaptive Strategy, (The One That Lets The Target Spend Two Healing Surges)
Current Goals: Provide both solid buffs to the party while keeping them up. There is another leader in the party, but unfortunately it is a level 3 cleric that is playing perpetual catch-up and can be dropped very quickly (and has been).
Current Plans: Explore the options that bardic multiclassing gives me for additional ways to increase the effectiveness of the party’s strikers, defenders, and controllers.
Party Composition:
Strikers: Barbarian and Warlock
Defenders: Fighter and Warden (the fighter will be mostly ineffective because the player is an utter moron)
Controller: Invoker, Druid (? I forget what a druid qualifies as)
Leaders: Warlord (me), Cleric (severely underleveled)
Could anyone make some suggestions for how to make myself a stronger utility/party supporter?
