6: Pixie Invisibility: Invisibility is powerful.
10: Gift of Flight: You already have pixie dust.
16: Fairy Dance: Nice power to help and hamper movement.

Feats:

Streak Of Light: Easiest way to get CA for any charge build.
Teeny Target: Good for certain defenders. Note that does NOT let you stealth (though cover stacks with hidden).
Flitting Harrier (11): Possibly useful for charging into enemy's spaces, or for moving into flanking (move into their space, and out, rather then walk around), but most pixies will just shift, or have the badge of the beserker.

my builds

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 Optimized net user. Moderate.

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.

Chargeburgler with cheese Ranged attacks at the end of a charge along with perma-stealth. Solid, could be overpowered if tweaked.

Void Defender Defends giving a penalty to hit anyone but him, then removing himself from play. Can get somewhat broken in epic.

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

Skimisher Fly in, attack, and fly away. Also prevents enemies from coming close. Moderate to Broken depending on the enemy, but shouldn't make the game un-fun, as the rest of your team is at risk, and you have enough weaknesses.

Indestructible Simply won't die, even if you sleep though combat. One of THE most abusive character in 4e.

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.

Domination and Death Dominate everything then kill them quickly. Only works @ 30, but is broken multiple ways.

Battlemind Mc Prone-Daze Protecting your allies by keeping enemies away. Quite powerful.

The Retaliator Getting hit deals more damage to the enemy then you receive yourself, and you can take plenty of hits. Heavy item dependency, Broken.

Dead Kobold Transit Teleports 98 squares a turn, and can bring someone along for the ride. Not fully built, so i can't judge the power.

Psilent Guardian Protect your allies, while being invisible. Overpowered, possibly broken.

Rune of Vengance Do lot's of damage while boosting your teams. Strong to slightly overpowered.

Charedent BarrageA charging ardent. Fine in a normal team, overpowered if there are 2 together, and easily broken in teams of 5.

Super Knight A tough, sticky, high damage knight. Strong.

Super Duper Knight Basically the same as super knight with items, making it far more broken.

Mora, the unkillable avenger Solid damage, while being neigh indestuctable. Overpowered, but not broken.

Swordburst Maximus At-Will Close Burst 3 that slide and prones. Protects allies with off actions. Strong, possibly over powered with the right party.

Rules: RAW beef.

(Offical clarifications by WoTC)

Flight Rules Notes:

[sblock Altitude Picture][/sblock]

You can (temporarily) fly higher then your altitude limit.

If you end your turn above the altitude limit, you fall.

If you are knocked prone, you fall instead.

When you fall, you drop your flight speed (6) squares before you start your "real" fall, which can be reduced by acrobatics.

Thus, if you are 1 square up, you have to be knocked prone twice to actually be prone.

Since you are flying, you can be pulled/pulled/slide up or down.

If you are up 1 square, you do not flank medium creatures with those on the ground, but in turn, you do not get flanked.

Falling does not trigger stealth, since it is not your movement.

It's a minor action to "fall" prone, which could be useful for a quick decent.

Flying prevent's you from being seen by tremmorsense.

Size Rules notes:

You can enter the space of other creatures.

Other creatures can enter your square.

You do NOT flank when sharing a square.

You are adjacent to any creature in the same square.

You are still subject to close burst powers while in the caster's square.

Close blast powers can't hit you while in the caster's square.

There is some RAW debate as to weather you are adjacent to your own square. Thus you might not get an OA if someone moved out of it. I belive it is RAI to do so.

Speed Rule Notes:

You loose your fly speed if you are overburdened. Thus you need to watch your weight, especially those in heavy armor.

There's alot of debate on this, and thus far, no clear answer.

Does "+2 to speed" affect fly speed?

If you "shift your speed" is that 4, or 6?

Does your shamans compainion move 4 or 6?

Hexblade Notes: There's 2 interpritations...

You draw your impliment (minor)

create your pact weapon (minor), which is now held but not wielded.

use shrink on your pact weapon (minor), which is now wielded.

Or

You draw your impliment (minor)

create your pact weapon (minor),

Specific pact weapon rules "You can make weapon attacks with your pact weapon" let's you use it while it's still too big.

I lean toward the first interpritation as RAW, but i wouldn't rule that way in any homegame.
