So, I'm coming up on a major plot point for my 4e players regarding a rather interesting game of Xorvintaal. There is a good chance they will end up Exarchs, so I thought I would homebrew up some extra powers for them. I'm hoping for some honest assessment on how awful these are, since I've never really homebrewed for 4e before. Each player will have two paths they can choose. The first, posted here, is the first of the Dragonborn Paladin's choices. Thanks for your help ahead of time.
Resolute Exarch – By choosing this path, you choose to devote the powers gained from your draconic master to enhancing your ability to remain upright when a lesser mortal would fall and stand in the way of foes who would seek to pass you.
~Granted Ability – Vigor Unending
-When you lose a healing surge for any reason (spending it, losing it, etc.), you heal your CON modifier in HP. At paragon tier, you heal 2xCON. At epic tier, 3xCON.
RESOLUTE EXARCH POWERS – These powers are granted automatically upon reaching the indicated tier.
HEROIC TIER – BULWARK OF SCALES - Daily
As your enemy strikes you, the power of your patron surges through your veins, mingling with the power of your heritage and making you a true nemesis to any who would seek to challenge you in melee.
Immediate Reaction
Keyword: Divine
Trigger – You are hit by an enemy’s attack and take damage to your HP.
Effect: Spend a healing surge. You gain your CON modifier to AC and Fort saves for CON+3 turns. Any enemy that successfully hits you takes your CON+3 damage of the same type as your Dragonborn breath weapon. All squares adjacent to you are treated as difficult terrain.
PARAGON TIER – CHALLENGE OF THE EXARCH – Daily
It takes a fool to turn their back on a Paladin of Bahamut. It takes a true fool to turn their back on one that has marked them for death.
Immediate Interrupt
Keyword: Divine, Implement, Radiant
Trigger – An enemy marked by either your Divine Sanction or Divine Challenge makes an attack at an ally.
Target: The triggering enemy
Range: Burst 10
Attack: CON vs. Will
Effect: Spend a healing surge. The triggering enemy takes 3d10+CON damage and is knocked prone. The triggering enemy is immobilized until the end of your next turn.
EPIC TIER – WALL OF STEEL AND SCALE - Daily
They…shall…not…PASS!
Standard Action
Keyword: Divine, Implement, Radiant
Range: All enemies within Burst 5
Attack: CON vs. Fort
Spend two healing surges. All affected enemies take 8d8+CON radiant damage, are knocked prone, and immobilized (save ends). After the affected enemies save, they are weakened and slowed (save ends both). If they save against these secondary effects, they take 8d8+CON Radiant damage again.
