Tomorrow: Arcane Power

[Greebo]

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=products/dndacc/9780786949571

This book provides new archetypical builds for the wizard, warlock, sorcerer, bard, and swordmage classes, including new character powers, feats, paragon paths, and epic destinies.

I was meaning to ask this... Group 3... are we using the second PHB? I haven't seen it, so I don't know what it provides the melee classes. (new feats?)

[Greebo]

PHB2 has new races, new classes, new paragon and epic paths, backgrounds, new rituals, new loot, and some rule updates.

PHB2 does not help any of the Group 3 classes. Only Martial Power and now Arcane Power. Divine Power is in June, I think.

Ah, OK. I meant Martial Power, I guess. We aren't using that though, right?

We are using martial power.

Right. You might want to consider the Intimidate flagged powers (and train in Initimidate at level 6). Temp hps every time you use them.

The Rattling description was good too, but I could not find a single MP power with the Rattling keyword.

I'll have to see if I can find a MP feat/power list.

[Shiz]

I was confused.


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 more than once with the power
or use more than one power with the invigorating
keyword in a round.
Rattling:

If you are trained in Intimidate and you
deal damage with an attack that has this keyword,
the target takes a ?2 penalty to attack rolls until the
end of your next turn. A creature immune to fear is
not subject to this penalty.


Invigorating at-will:

Crushing Surge

The feel of your weapon crunching against the enemy puts your
heart back in the fight.

And then I liked this one but your stance is better:

Cometfall Charge Fighter Attack 5

That is all you really need to know about MP at this point.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Crushing Surge (1w+str) combined with Invigorate (is that a feat?) heals 4-5 every hit is not bad, either.

[Shiz]

It is not a feat, just a class feature. Temp hps are not healing, either. It is a ward.

Ah, so it is. Pinning Smash + Rain of Steel would be a nice combo. :D Hit them, pin them, they can't get away, and they take damage automatically if they stay. I'm guessing a save would let them move again... That 3w+str+con is a mean one too. With a +1 greataxe, max crit damage could be as high as 70-something for Brun on a perfect hit. :o
