[QUOTE="chryx, post: 3501573, member: 51973"] At the thought of my current D&D game going epic, I decided to whip a few extra 9th level powers. Some of these are inspired by what Solar Exalts can do, obviously. I felt that at high levels, what was definitely needed was more variety in the counters and boosts people could use. The eventual goal is to give each discipline a 9th level stance and boost, in addition to their already powerful strikes. These are not playtested, so any feedback would be great.
