Combat Challenge

No Action
In combat, it's dangerous to ignore a fighter. Every time you attack an enemy, whether the attack hits or misses, you can choose to mark that target. The mark lasts until the end of your next turn. While a target is marked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls for any attack that doesn't include you as a target. A creature can be subject to only one mark at a time. A new mark supersedes a mark that was already in place.

Immediate Interrupt
In addition, whenever [errata] an enemy marked by you is adjacent to you and shifts or makes an attack, [errata] you can make a melee basic attack against that enemy as an immediate interrupt. [Note that a character only gets one immediate action per round, and this does not get the opportunity attack bonus, as it is not an opportunity attack.]

Combat Superiority (Class Feature)

Opportunity Attack
You gain a bonus to opportunity attacks equal to your Wisdom modifier [+1]. An enemy struck by your opportunity attack stops moving, if a move provoked the attack. If it still has actions remaining, it can use them to resume moving. [Note that opportunity attacks are limited to once per opponent's turn.]

Battlerager Vigor (Class Feature)

Each time an enemy hits you with a melee or a close attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (after the attack is resolved).
When you gain temporary hit points by hitting with an attack that has the invigorating keyword, those temporary hit points stack with any other temporary hit points you already have.
When wearing light armor or chainmail, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with melee and close weapon attacks whenever you have temporary hit points. This bonus increases to +2 if you're wielding an axe, a hammer, a mace, or a pick.

Keyword: Invigorating

If you are trained in the Endurance skill, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier when you hit with a power that has this keyword. No invigorating power grants temporary hit points more than once per turn, even if you hit with more than once with the invigorating keyword in a round.

Keyword: Stance

A stance power lasts until the end of the encounter, for 5 minutes, or until you use another stance power.

Improved Vigor

Encumbered Speed

You move at your normal speed even when it would normally be reduced by armor or a heavy load. Other effects that limit speed (such as difficult terrain or magical effects) affect you normally.

Stand Your Ground

When an effect forces you to move -- through a pull, a push, or a slide -- you can move 1 square less than the effect specifies. This means an effect that normally pulls, pushes, or slides a target 1 square does not force you to move unless you want to.
In addition, when an attack would knock you prone, you can immediately make a saving throw to avoid falling prone.

Future Level Plans

At level 8, he gets 7 HP, +1 con, +1 wis and Martial Freedom feat (or Victor's Confidence if I have Boots of Free Movement), possibly Devoted Challenge/Against All Odds instead. Also, +1 to all skills, defenses, attack rolls, and initiative. +1 con adds +1 HP. +1 wis adds +1 Will and +1 to opportunity attacks, not to mention +1 to relevant skills.

Feats to Consider:

   * Devoted Challenge (MP) -- attack/dam boost to Combat Challenge = Wis
   * Martial Freedom (MP, any Martial) -- useful if no boots, but occasional
   * Victors Confidence (MP) -- potentially useful but two conditions (drop foe, need save)
   * Potent Challenge (PHB) (+4 damage for Combat Challenge)
   * Against All Odds (Dragon 364) -- rare, though may work well with Come And Get It
   * Dodge Giants (PHB) -- later
   * Powerful Charge (PHB) -- meh
   * Thunder Hammer (MP) -- would be useful if I had more attacks with saves vs. condition
