Whats the general feeling on the Martial Powers book?

[Bagpuss]

Anything leap out as power creep? I'm impressed with the number of new powers available to each class, at each level, they seemed to have packed a load into the book by keeping it really focused.

People have the Martial Power book already? I thought it wasn't due out for two more weeks?

So, uh, do Warlords get any At-wills that let them throw around dice for themselves?

 

[Bagpuss]

Ah it's not due out for another two weeks that might explain why I can't find any chatter.

Erm... Okay scoop I have it. At lunch time (in about an hour) I'll post some information about it. If people have specific questions before then I'll answer what I can.

So, uh, do Warlords get any At-wills that let them throw around dice for themselves?

The Warlord only gets two new 1st level At-Wills (they get some later on as utility powers, bit like the Rogue in the PHB), the Fighter gets four, ranger two and the rogue one.

Bash Assault allows is a Str vs AC melee attack (very much like a Basic Melee Attack) but it has the additional effect that the target can make a basic melee attack with combat advantage against you, if the target makes the attack you allow an ally to make a basic melee attack against the target with combat advantage against it.

and Opening Shove was in the excerpt.

So no, but then that isn't the Warlord's role.

Hmm ... with Bash Attack:
I wonder if you get to allow an ally to attack if the attack you granted got invalidated by the Fighter's CC attack (+Shield Push).

Um yeah i have a couple of questions... Are there any more interesting ranged feats in the epic or paragon tear of play?? What about some more skills based feats, there were a couple of nice ones based on combat but none on out of combat in the PHB, especially as there are loads of options around the rouge, ranger or even the warlord.

What are the new at will powers like for the Ranger? Any more interesting daily feats around??

Just once I'd like to be one of the people who gets a book early. *sigh*

You already answered my primary question (warlord at-wills). My only other questions I'd like to get answers on might be...

1.) Multiclassing. I thought I recalled something about better multiclassing options for martial characters in this one. I have a player about to multiclass his warlord to barbarian, and if a much better option exists I'd like to be able to tell him to hold off.

2.) What is the class ability for the other warlord build?

 

[Mengu]

The biggest complaint I hear about the PHB is not enough feats. Is there a respectable number in the MP, and how easy/hard are they to qualify for?

How many new builds for each class?

Can you give us an abbreviated table of contents for just chapter names, and page numbers so we have an idea about the bulk of each section?

If people have specific questions before then I'll answer what I can.

Any new 1h heavy blades? Or any heavy blade feats attainable without high Str/Dex?

PS: Yes, I a swordmage curious if I can get something out of MP
