Serpent's Cunning and Eagle's Splendor would say yes.

If you're so hard up for choices, you can always buy another leveled utility with Skill Power and swap that out. Pick up Protective Scroll for instance, and you've just added one of the best defensive leader tricks in the game onto one of the best offensive leader tricks in the game.

Hm, does that work? If so, that's definitely the way to go.
Mountain Cleave Rule: You can have any sort of fun, including broken, silly fun, so long as I get to have that fun too (e. g., if you can warp reality with your spells, I can cleave mountains with my blade).

Yep. SoB will swap it just fine. (It can't trade out PP or ED powers, but that's because PHB1 specifically prohibited all power-swap feats from doing so.)

Wow, I have never heard of that power before. "Carrying" is a bit vague though. Am I correct in thinking that the user of the scroll does not have to spend an action to draw it from storage prior to using it?

You wouldn't, no. (The seals themselves would generally be pasted on.)

Actually for Protective Scroll, a player "sold" an idea to me as DM. Dwarven Runepriest, he told me it wasn't a scroll but an clay tile with the proper inscription, the player just had to break it to activate it. You could carry it anywhere. He would use the power during a short rest and give it to another player, who would then have it somewhere on their armor so they could just break it quickly. A good idea and seemed reasonable, so I allowed it.
Can only have one tile active at a time though, to prevent abuse.

That's a neat idea thematically. I think that one-at-a-time limitation should be written into the power, but as it stands, I don't see anything RAW preventing me from dumping half my surges into these things during the last two hours of my party's extended rest. (I'm a Warforged). Although admittedly, this power coupled with optimized Enhanced Resistive Formula might be overkill.

Yeah, there is nothing in the rules but we agreed to it to prevent taking a day off from adventuring and making your entire surge value in scrolls and then handing them out to everyone. That would be crazy but allowed.
I think there is too much dependence on RAW, and I have asked the designers repeatedly to print in big bold letters right in front of the rulebooks that they can't think of everyone situation therefore all rules must be read with the idea of balance in mind.
Protective Scroll on a warlord makes you almost as good a healer as a pacifist, but in a different way since you can heal more often but not as good each time. What it does do though is allow you to run a 5 or 6 person party and have only one leader, you.
