[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 7292482, member: 82106"] Well, assuming you can define what a 'controller/striker/leader power' IS, there's no keyword for that, nor any unequivocal mechanical signature for them. I guess you could mean 'any power of a class of this role', but its no longer actually clear what that means either! hehe. In early 4e you might have made this distinction pretty clearly, ANY wizard power is a 'controller power', and any rogue power is a 'striker power', but even back then you'd only be relying on a technicality to call every warlock power a 'striker power' as well... Nowadays you cannot even technically do so. That doesn't stop it from being a cool idea. Just one that is going to require a different mechanical grounding. Certainly you could define a class that was half striker/half defender and used a ritual to transition to the defender mode and a reversion criteria to switch back, and that criteria could be 'uses any powers with keyword X from his class powers'. That might let you 'fudge' a little by MCing to a different striker class, but I doubt that would break stuff. [/QUOTE]
