The Eternal City of Tanelorn
Welcome all to my blog. As mentioned in my first entry I've not contributed much to blogspace in the past. I've been an avid blog reader for some time but never really thought I had much to say. Now that my favorite site has a blogging feature I thought it appropriate to start one of my own. For more on my inspiration, see the first entry (in Misc - The Importance of Blogging).
What you'll find in here is a collection of 4e creations, product reviews (pimping anyways), and random musings. At least that's what I've got on the books so far. Stay tuned for more.

[Classes & Races]
Okay I've been putting this off way too long. One of my original ideas I had when I saw the PHB4e was that races could play a bigger part in your choice of class by tying more than just feats to your race. By using the power requirements to include race, class powers could build on the flavor of the race similar to how the later Race books from 3.5 included racial substitution levels. My goal to start with is to come up with Heroic Tier encounter powers to add to the choices presented by the class in this article.
[Tiefling Fighter]
Tieflings that embrace their infernal heritage are able to draw on the fires burning in their souls to engage their enemies with unique combat exploits. Preferring to fight with two blades and lean towards a striker secondary roll, Tiefling Fighters often choose Tempest Techniques and add their own embelishments.
Blood Fury Fighter Attack 1
Your natural bloodlust takes over as you launch a devastating attack against a bleeding and battered opponent.
Encounter * Martial, Weapon
Standard Action - Melee Weapon
Requirement: You must be a Tiefling.
Target: One bloodied creature
Attack: Strength + 2 vs. AC
Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage.
Blazing Gale Fighter Attack 3
The fires of your past come to life as flames leap from your weapon, burning all those around you.
Encounter * Fire, Martial, Weapon
Standard Action - Close Burst 1
Requirement: You must be a Tiefling.
Target: All creatures in the burst
Attack: Strength vs. Reflex
Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier fire damage.
Accursed Flurry Fighter Attack 7
Your weapons blaze with infernal balefire as you strike with both of them.
Encounter * Fire, Martial, Rattling, Weapon
Standard Action - Melee Weapon
Requirements: You must be a Tiefling and you must be wielding two weapons.
Target: Two creatures
Attack: Strength vs. AC (main weapon and off-hand weapon), one attack per target.
Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier fire damage and the target grants combat advantage until the end of your next turn.

Interesting idea!
Blood Fury looks okay to me, but I would make one or two changes to the other two.
I think Blazing Gale should deal 1[W] + Strength modifier fire damage, otherwise the fixed damage favors the higher-accuracy, lower-damage weapons.
Accursed Flurry looks okay, but it should probably have a "Requirement: You must be wielding two melee weapons" line, and the "Attack" line should probably read: "Strength vs. AC (main weapon and off-hand weapon), one attack per target"Posted 29th January 2009 at 03:01 PM by FireLance

Cool thanks, I've been off and on following your blog on here, lots of great ideas. I've incorporated your feedback. I had been going back and forth on whether Blazing Gale should deal weapon damage or some other form of damage. I had settled on other damage because I thought a burst attack vs. reflex with just normal damage (expressed as fire damage) was not enough for a 3rd level attack power. But looking back I can see that even a longsword or other typical main hand weapon would gain an advantage at that rate and using weapon proficiency vs. reflex is mean. So I agree the generally lower damage will be a positive thing.Posted 29th January 2009 at 08:49 PM by Erekose13
