Hey there charop boards, long time reader, first time poster. After about a year of playing Encounters, I've finally gotten myself invited to an actual group. Since this is the first character that I'll take past level 3, I thought I'd ask what the boards think of my striker build. The basic idea is that I mount my displacer beast (and gain +3 to defenses with it's aura and my teeny target) and charge a cursed enemy using a lance for 2d10+1d8+2d6+4 at level 1 and a whopping 3d10+3d8+5 (sans bracers of mighty striking, horned helmet, and vanguard weapon) at 10. I tried to pick encounters that discourage enemies from hitting me back. ====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ====== Van, level 10

The feat Teeny Target does not do anything. Being in the same square as an ally already grants not just you, but your ally cover.
Other than that, looks like the standard gimmick.

Just beware that it might be TOO much for a home game. So be ready to take your horned helm off if someone else took skill focus.

F-111 Interdictor Long (200+ squares) distance ally teleporter. With some warlord stuff. Broken in a plot way, not a power way.
Thought Switch Higher level build that grants upto 14 attacks on turn 1. If your allies play along, it's broken.
Elven Critters Crit op with crit generation. 5 of these will end anything. Broken.
King Fisher Does an excellent job at keeping an enemy disabled in a few ways. Strong.
Boominator Fun catch-22 booming blade build with either strong or completely broken damage depending on your reading.
Very Distracting Warlock Lot's of dazing and major penalties to hit. Overpowered.
Pocket Protector Pixie Stealth Knight. Maximizing the defender's aura by being in an ally's/enemy's square.
Yakuza NinjIntimiAdin: Perma-stealth Striker that offers a little protection for ally's, and can intimidate bloodied enemies. Very Strong.

Scry and Die Attacking from around corners, while staying hidden. Moderate to broken, depending on the situation.

Indestructible Simply won't die, even if you sleep though combat.
Sir Robin (Bravely Charge Away) He automatically slows and pushes an enemy (5 squares), while charging away. Hard to rate it's power level, since it's terrain dependent.
Death's Gatekeeper A fun twist on a healic, making your party "unkillable". Overpowered to Broken, but shouldn't actually make the game un-fun, just TPK proof.
Death's Gatekeeper mk2, (Stealth Edition) Make your party "unkillable", and you hidden, while doing solid damage. Stronger then the above, but also easier for a DM to shut down. Broken, until your DM get's enough of it.

You don't have any way to back up to charge range if an enemy starts their turn adjacent to you. That will make repeatable charging difficult. The only way to do that while mounted is the rune of astral winds runepriest utility so slide your mount and therefore yourself at-will, or alternately a nightmare saddle and teleporting mount.

I just figured I'd slash at them with my shortsword at melee range after I charge.
Mellored you do raise a good point. Maybe it would be worth it to tone it down?

Really depends on who your playing with.
But it's easy to take a helm off.
Or just not charge very much.
Or "forget" to use your poision.

Rules quote for this? This is the first time I've heard this.

He is exagerating a bit. Allies always provide cover against ranged attacks anyway. Teeny target also helps for melee attacks and also gives you concealment.

I am not exaggerating at all. According to the rules for establishing cover, any time you co-occupy a space with an ally, you and that ally both have cover. The author of Teeny Target apparently didn't know the relevant rules.
