Hey guys, I've always wanted to get a good Eladrin Knight character that was unique and with an arcane quality about him. I think I've finally did it.

When charging with Combat Advantage on a Mount I can teleport my mount and I, and I'm +21 to hit and do 3d10 + 1d8 + 1d6 +19 damage (not including temporary or conditional bonus like gauntlets of blood or stances, but does include the damage granted from charging with the obsidian steed)

No pentalties for squeezing and can shift one after a charge.

guessing Iliyanbruen Guardian to convey an ally along with self.

The 11th level feature of the Eldritch Knight allows you to bring one willing creature with you when you teleport with your defender aura active. The creature is teleported to a space adjacent to you.

This was how most were using Charm of the Defender when buiding Eldritch Knights. Interesting enough, I don't think it works with Charm of the Defender. Its states it has to be a willing creature. I don't believe charmed creatures are willing creatures. It doesn't matter though because mounts are. The next question that comes up is whether or not an Obsidian Steed and a Jade Horse are creatures.

You're missing your Level 8 Feat.

EDIT: Never mind. For some reason, you have two Level 12 feats, but one of them (Cunning Stalker) is actually available at Level 8.

The feat issue was because of retraining.

The mount issue is really a non-issue in my opinion. Any DM that is going to use that against me is just being mean. I wouldn't hold that against anyone. I do see your point though, but here's my argument to that.

I'm the one charging. I'm mounted when I teleport. I'm charging when I teleport. I appear next to the target and still get my bonuses from being mounted and having combat advantage (I was mounted when I initiated the charge) I appear one square up, and the mount appears below me. If the DM wants to have me fall down after the charge, I guess he can. I should still get all the bonuses though.
