Can you use you character power AND a weapon on the same check?

Sure - 99% the time. So Valeros (Core) can use a weapon, then recharge an armor/weapon to add 1d4 to the check.

The only exception is something like the following (Seoni from RotR):

For your combat check, you may discard a card to roll your Arcane die + 1d6 with the Attack, Fire, and Magic traits. This counts as playing a spell.

Seoni couldn't use that power AND a weapon or attack spell. That's because you can only use one power/card that uses the exact words, "For your combat check..."

A small comment:
It also depends on the weapon in question - most weapons are not allowed to play after any "For your combat check, …" power, as they also have "For your combat check, …" wording and you can play only one. However, there are some weapons that can be played for secondary power like "Recharge to add 1d4 to a local combat check" or "Discard to add 1d8 to a distant combat check", which you are still allowed to use.
