WEAPON TALENTS
choose one
Heavy Draw: When you use a ranged weapon to make a basic attack or use a martial attack power, you can use STR instead of DEX for attack and damage. When you use a martial power that normally requires a light blade or off-hand weapon to use, you may substitute a quarterstaff, spear, pole-arm, spiked chain, or double-weapon and use STR instead of DEX for attack and damage.
Weapon Finesse: When you use a light blade, off-hand weapon, spiked chain, double-weapon, or heavy thrown eapon to make a basic attack or use a martial attack power, you can use DEX instead of STR for attack and damage.

BATTLEMASTER FIGHTER STANCES

Fending Stance
You swing your weapon in long, broad arcs, assuring that no one can approach you safely.
At-Will * Martial, Stance
Minor Action Personal
Requirement: You must be using a pole-arm or other weapon with reach
Effect: The reach you gain from your weapon becomes Threatening Reach. When you use a Close or Area martial weapon power that targets 'enemies you can see,' you can choose to target 'all creatures,' instead.
