I've been working on this class for a while, and decided to get some imput. This class, the Elemental Warrior, is intended to be a sort of gish. Anyway, I've got powers completed through 10th level, so I decided to post it. Hopefully my formatting carried across from the word document. PEACH, by the way.
Elemental Warrior Basics
Elemental Warrior
Elemental Warriors are powerful fighters who draw power from their martial prowess and from the Elemental Chaos. The tradition of the Elemental Warrior began in the ancient Dragonborn Empire in an attempt to emulate their Dragon ancestors. Since then, this esoteric discipline has been adopted by several monasteries and other martial institutions.
Class Traits
Role: Striker/Defender
Elemental Warriors are powerful melee combatants fortified with mystical abilities. They do not have the range of arcane casters or the marking abilities of defenders, but have a variety of capabilities that deal damage and hinder enemies.
Power Source: Elemental
Although passing familiar with weapon skill and arcane matters, your main strength is drawn from an innate connection with the Elemental Chaos. You lack the finesse of the fighter or rogue, but your lack of technical skill is made up for by supernatural speed and strength.
Key Abilities: Strength, Charisma, and Constitution
Your ability to wield a weapon efficiently is linked to your strength, while your ability to shape the elements you wield is maintained through force of will. Channeling the raw power of the elements through your body requires a high constitution, as well as increasing your immunity to the powers you wield.

Creating an Elemental Warrior
The two basic builds available to Elemental Warriors are Elemental Scion and Shamanic Warrior. Melee Powers are based on Strength, ranged powers are based on Charisma. Constitution factors into both. Dexterity, Intelligence, and Wisdom are less important to Elemental Warriors.
Elemental Warrior Overview
Characteristics: You have a variety of short-ranged attack powers and melee attacks. You deal plenty of damage and have retribution powers that punish those who damage you. Your choice of Elemental Style has a great effect on the way you fight.
Religion: Elemental Warriors have close ties to the Elemental Chaos and, as such, are far less likely to be devoted to a deity than other people, sometimes to the extent of being openly scornful of the gods. Those who do worship a god usually choose one they grew up with, or one who shares their devotion to an element.
Races: Dragonborn are by far the most common Elemental Warriors, usually choosing and Elemental Style that is congruous with their natural breath weapon. Half Elves excel at this class as Elemental Scions, and some savage races, such as Goblins and their kin, have adopted the Elemental Warriors as Shamans and leaders.
Elemental Scion
You are a living incarnation of the elements. You focus on the ranged powers that the Elemental Chaos provides. Your weapon is a tool, nothing more. You should invest heavily in Charisma and Constitution, since they influence your ability to wield the elements directly. Strength is clearly tertiary. Herald of the Storm and Blade of Flame are both good Elemental Styles for you. If you have a particularly macabre bent, Gatekeeper of the Tomb is also suitable. Shield of the Elements is definitely your preferred Style Edge.
Suggested Feat: Improved Initiative (Human Feat: Human Perseverance)
Suggested Skills: Arcana, History, Intimidate
Suggested At Wills: Elemental Lance, Chaos Burst
Suggested Encounter: Forked Lightning
Suggested Daily: Sigil of Torment
Shamanic Warrior
You focus more on the melee powers of the Elemental Path to overwhelm your foes and defend your friends from harm. Since you focus on your skill of arms more than the Elemental Scion, Strength is your primary skill, while Constitution is secondary. Your Charisma should be your third skill anyway, since you will want some ranged attack. Ice Incarnate, Thunderer, and Vitriolic Champion are your best bets for Elemental Styles, while Elemental Rejoinder is a good Style Edge choice for you.
Suggested Feat: Weapon Focus (Human Feat: Human Perseverance)
Suggested Skills: Athletics, Endurance, Intimidate
Suggested At-Wills: Elemental Burst, Elemental Weapon
Suggested Encounter: Thunder Hammer
Suggested Daily: Acerbic Rebuke
Class Features:
Elemental Style: Although all Elemental warriors can channel the elements, each one focuses in a single part of the Elemental Chaos, honing their prowess with one of six elements. Each element is also associated with a certain class of weapon, which acts as an implement for channeling the Elemental Warrior’s power. When using a power whose keyword is not associated with the weapon they are wielding, Elemental Warriors do not get an implement bonus to that power. Some powers grant an added effect if the Elemental Warrior is specialized in its elemental keyword. Whenever you use an encounter or daily power with your elemental keyword, add your Constitution modifier to the damage dealt by the primary attack.
Herald of the Storm (Lightning): You specialize in the power of lightning, calling bolts of energy to your use. You gain proficiency with all martial spears. Your Elemental Bolt at-will power has a 25% chance to immobilize the target until the end of your next turn. At 21st level, this increases to a 50% chance.
Blade of Flame (Fire): You focus on the raw power of fire, scourging your enemies with bursts of flame and waves of heat. You gain proficiency with all martial heavy blades. Your Elemental Bolt At-Will power has a 25% chance to give the foe ongoing 5 fire damage (save ends). At 21st level, this increases to a 50% chance.
Gatekeeper of the Tomb (Necrotic): You wield the corrupting power of death against your enemies, filling their bodies and souls with the dark power of necrotic energy. You gain proficiency with all martial polearms. Your Elemental Blast at-will power has a 25% chance to weaken the target until the end of your next turn. At 21st level, this increases to a 50% chance.
Ice Incarnate (Cold): You revel in the power of winter, summoning its scouring cold against your foes and cloaking yourself in icy curtains of wrath. You gain proficiency with all martial axes. Your Elemental Blast slows the target.
Thunderer (Thunder): The roaring winds of the world head your call and the earth quakes at your steps upon its face. You gain proficiency with all martial hammers. Your Elemental Blast at-will power pushes the target 1 space.
Vitriolic Champion (Acid): You call secrets of the earth to your defense, the acid that eats at heart rock and flesh alike. You are proficient with all martial flails. Your Elemental Blast at-will power marks the target until the end of your next turn.
Style Edge: Your training with the elements has unique properties that can aid you in combat. Choose one of the following:
Shield of the Elements: Whenever you channel power, it swirls around you, protecting you from some attacks. If you are within 5 spaces of your target when attacking with a ranged or blast attack, you do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
Elemental Rejoinder: The elemental power within your body responds furiously towards attacks against you, following the path of arrows back to their owners. Whenever you are damaged by a ranged attack, the attacker takes damage of your chosen element equal to your constitution modifier.
Energy Resistance: You gain resistance to your chosen element equal to your Constitution modifier +1/2 your level. At 11th and 21st level, you gain resistance equal to your Constitution modifier against two other elements of your choice. This bonus can apply to the same elements at 21st level and 11th. At 30th level, you gain immunity to your element. The resistance gained at 11th and 21st has to be of a type in which Elemental Warriors can specialize.
Channel Vitality: You gain the use of the following two encounter powers:

Creating an Elemental Warrior
The two basic builds available to Elemental Warriors are Elemental Scion and Shamanic Warrior. Melee Powers are based on Strength, ranged powers are based on Charisma. Constitution factors into both. Dexterity, Intelligence, and Wisdom are less important to Elemental Warriors.
Elemental Warrior Overview
Characteristics: You have a variety of short-ranged attack powers and melee attacks. You deal plenty of damage and have retribution powers that punish those who damage you. Your choice of Elemental Style has a great effect on the way you fight.
Religion: Elemental Warriors have close ties to the Elemental Chaos and, as such, are far less likely to be devoted to a deity than other people, sometimes to the extent of being openly scornful of the gods. Those who do worship a god usually choose one they grew up with, or one who shares their devotion to an element.

Elemental Scion
You are a living incarnation of the elements. You focus on the ranged powers that the Elemental Chaos provides. Your weapon is a tool, nothing more. You should invest heavily in Charisma and Constitution, since they influence your ability to wield the elements directly. Strength is clearly tertiary. Herald of the Storm and Blade of Flame are both good Elemental Styles for you. If you have a particularly macabre bent, Gatekeeper of the Tomb is also suitable. Shield of the Elements is definitely your preferred Style Edge.
Suggested Feat: Improved Initiative (Human Feat: Human Perseverance)
Suggested Skills: Arcana, History, Intimidate
Suggested At Wills: Elemental Lance, Chaos Burst
Suggested Encounter: Forked Lightning
Suggested Daily: Sigil of Torment
Shamanic Warrior
You focus more on the melee powers of the Elemental Path to overwhelm your foes and defend your friends from harm. Since you focus on your skill of arms more than the Elemental Scion, Strength is your primary skill, while Constitution is secondary. Your Charisma should be your third skill anyway, since you will want some ranged attack. Ice Incarnate, Thunderer, and Vitriolic Champion are your best bets for Elemental Styles, while Elemental Rejoinder is a good Style Edge choice for you.
Suggested Feat: Weapon Focus (Human Feat: Human Perseverance)
Suggested Skills: Athletics, Endurance, Intimidate
Suggested At-Wills: Elemental Burst, Elemental Weapon
Suggested Encounter: Thunder Hammer
Suggested Daily: Acerbic Rebuke
Class Features:
Elemental Style: Although all Elemental warriors can channel the elements, each one focuses in a single part of the Elemental Chaos, honing their prowess with one of six elements. Each element is also associated with a certain class of weapon, which acts as an implement for channeling the Elemental Warrior’s power. When using a power whose keyword is not associated with the weapon they are wielding, Elemental Warriors do not get an implement bonus to that power. Some powers grant an added effect if the Elemental Warrior is specialized in its elemental keyword.
