New Cleric Power

[andarilhor]

I created this new cleric power and wanted a evaluation of you guys.

Radiant Burst Cleric A1
At-Will ♦ Divine, Healing, Implement, Radiant
Standard Action Close burst 2
Target: all enemies in the burst
Attack: Wisdom vs. Fort
Hit: Deal radiant damage equal to your Wisdom Modifier, and one ally in the burst regain a number of hit points equal to your Charisma Modifier.
Increases the Range to burst 3 at 21st level.

I like everything except the way its radius increases at level 21. That breaks the regular pattern, and I don't think its necessary. There are other powers by that point that do similar effects with larger radii.

 

[Cadfan]

I changed my mind. It shouldn't heal hit points, it should grant temporary hit points. Magical healing that doesn't rely on healing surges and is available at will breaks the healing surge mechanic.

 

[andarilhor]

I agree with the radius increase, but will think a little more about the healing/temporary hit points. And the healing only happens when you hits with the attack at least againt one enemy.

Other thing I am thinking is to change the range to Area burst 1, what do you think?

 

[andarilhor]

Based on Cadfan advise, I maded a new version of the power:

Radiant Burst Cleric A1
At-Will ♦ Divine, Implement, Radiant
Standard Action Close burst 2
Target: all enemies in the burst
Attack: Wisdom vs. Fort
Hit: Deal radiant damage equal to your Wisdom Modifier.
Effect: all allies in the burst gains a number of temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier.

After a few thougth I made a little modification:

Radiant Burst Cleric A1
At-Will ♦ Divine, Implement, Radiant
Standard Action Close burst 3
Target: all enemies in the burst
Attack: Wisdom vs. Fort
Hit: Deal radiant damage equal to your Wisdom Modifier, and one ally in the burst gains a number of temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier.

That way, I raised the range and made the gain of temporary depedent of hiting with the attack.

Seems like a decent minion killer, perhaps too much so although of course you have to roll to hit each one but being an at-will it's easily spammed. I'd want to hear about some playtesting against some mixed encounters, no minions to minion heavy etc.

 

[SlimJim]

I think maybe you should change it to a close blast 3 or 4

I like this, but will probaby make the temp HP equal to Cha Mod + 1/2 level. It would make it more viable later on without really breaking anything (fighters and Barbarians already get tons of Temp Hp powers and abilities)
