Yesterday, my friend Levi and I were messing around with the character builder, and we got to thinking: What are some unusual hybrid combinations that seem to work?
Between the two of us, we decided to create a pair of Dragonborn Paladin|Sorceror hybrids at level 5 to pit against each other in a quick PVP one-shot. The winning hybrid(mine! :smallbiggrin:) was set up as follows:
Akra, level 5
Dragonborn, Paladin|Sorcerer
Hybrid Paladin: Hybrid Paladin Fortitude
Sorcerous Power: Sorcerous Power Strength
Hybrid Talent: Soul of the Sorcerer
Soul of the Sorcerer: Wild Soul
Dragonborn Racial Power: Dragon Breath
Dragon Breath Key Ability: Dragon Breath Strength
Dragon Breath Damage Type: Dragon Breath Fire
Birth - Among Another Race: Among Another Race (Halfling)
Background: Birth - Among Another Race (Among Another Race (Halfling))
(Long story)
FINAL ABILITY SCORES
Str 19, Con 12, Dex 10, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 19.
STARTING ABILITY SCORES
Str 16, Con 12, Dex 10, Int 8, Wis 12, Cha 16.
AC: 17 Fort: 18 Reflex: 13 Will: 19
HP: 45 Surges: 9 Surge Value: 12
TRAINED SKILLS
History +8, Religion +6, Endurance +8
UNTRAINED SKILLS
Acrobatics +4, Arcana +1, Bluff +6, Diplomacy +6, Dungeoneering +3, Heal +3, Insight +3, Intimidate +8, Nature +3, Perception +3, Stealth +2, Streetwise +6, Thievery +2, Athletics +6
FEATS

Level 2: Broken Shackles
Level 4: Hybrid Talent
POWERS
Hybrid at-will 1: Chaos Bolt
Hybrid at-will 1: Bolstering Strike
Hybrid encounter 1: Thunder Slam
Hybrid daily 1: Cosmos Call
Hybrid utility 2: Bless Weapon

Hybrid daily 5: Unrelenting Punishment
I guess what I'm putting up for discussion are the following:
-Are there any obvious ways to improve the Paladin|Sorceror hybrid (Do not suggest alternative classes as that is not the point of this question)
-What sort of unusual hybrids have you seen played effectively?
