So I have the Martial Powers book.

What does the Battlerager Vigor build give a fighter? What does a fighter give up to get the battlerager or tempest builds?

What do the new polearm feats do?

*To be honest there is nothing I've read so far that has really disappointed me as such, I'm just a greedy sod who wants more of this quality of stuff. So far this book has done nothing but impressed me. I was worried that there would be inevitable power creep with a book of this sort, but I'm not really seeing that. Sure some people will find some powerful combinations but really I'm impressed with how stacking, economy of actions and other issues from 3rd Ed have been handled. I've not found anything I would want to ban as a DM yet, where as in 3rd Ed I would easily find power creep with each new sourcebook.

I don't want to give away too much specifics, after all you really should buy the book, or check the DnD Compendium (since Battlerager and Tempest should appear there being 1st level options).

I already preordered the book. How about a vague hint about what the battlerager build does?

From here:

BATTLERAGER VIGOR
Each time an enemy hits you with a melee or a close attack, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (after the attack is resolved).

When you gain temporary hit points by hitting with an attack that has the invigorating keyword, those temporary hit points stack with any other temporary hit points you already have.

When wearing light armor or chainmail, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls with melee and close weapon attacks whenever you have temporary hit points. This bonus increases to +2 if you’re wielding an axe, a hammer, a mace, or a pick.

I'm really off to bed now, tomorrow I'll try to take a look at the Epic Destinies. But as a taster here what a level 30 Legendary General's Feature is.

Unyielding Company: While you have at least 1 hit point, allies within 20 squares do not fall unconcious at 0 hit points or fewer and cannot die because of negative hit points. (They can still die from three failed death saves).



Lets see you stop a level 30 multiclass Warforged Barbarian (Warlord), Frenzied Berserker - Legendary General leading a army of Warforged, while in a deathless frenzy.

None of us fall unconscious until we fail death saves, but we all take 10 on death saves...

Only one problem with that combo, which is that the power stops the moment the Legendary General reaches 0 or less HP. So even if he can keep fighting after reaching that point, everyone else loses the benefit.

Although I'm sure that could lead to some interesting visuals as the leader takes one damage from some insignificant source(such as a bee sting) and all of his allies around him drop dead.

Yeah, but unless everyone else is at -(bloodied), he can just heal them (and himself) up. He IS a Warlord, after all.

It's not complete invincibility, but it does seem to make it astronomically unlikely that anything reasonable could ever defeat you.

 

[ArmoredSaint]

Are there any feats/powers that will improve my armour class? Or any feats/powers that are for users of Heavy Armour only?

 

[Gundark]

What are the builds for each class?

 

[tonpa]

On the Racial side (I seem to be fond of these): Could you give us examples on these, maybe what kind of the fighter dargonborn paragon path is? Are the requirements race + any martial class or race + fighter for example?

Second one: are there weapon specific powers for other classes than fighter and if so, could you give small example for warlord?

Cheers
