In a way, yes: Rune of Mending (the Runepriest 2x / Encounter spend-a-surge power) also hands out a buff, at the cost of +1d6 healing compared to the Cleric. I'm playing a Bard right now, I can slide the target of my Majestic Word power. There's tons of times when sliding an ally with a minor action could be really cool, but because it's entwined with my healing ability I can't just toss it off whenever...Um, what?

Having actually used my Sorcerers Daily Majestic Word to slide a full health ally out of the way of my own spells, yeah its nice. But, thats kind of the point, the Runepriest has to choose between buffing at the most opportune time or using his healing.

Runepriests do seem like fun.
If the guy who "doesn't want to play a bard anymore but wants to play a Leader" in our group doesn't play a Runepriest I'm going to be very disappointed.

I agree that playing a rune priest sounds like fun - I have a warforged runepriest/barbarian I did up on CB that I wouldn't mind trying out.
That said, I'm also wary of how fiddly it might be - we also have an invoker in that group, and keeping track of which situational bonus we have at any given time is kind of a pain, and the runepriest looks way worse.
I do admit that may just be an issue with my group - part of the problem is that some of my players play via Skype, and its more difficult for them to track what's going on. But, as one of the players on the same side of the camera as the map, even I find it a bit challenging. So, if I ever do try a runepriest, I will definitely have to ensure that I am well organised and have made out lots of visual aids for all the other players.

Monks are neat, too. Though they technically use the psionic power source they don't use the 'wonky' psionic system.
Seeker and Monk were my favorites from the book. The Seeker is actually the first controller class that really appealed to me.

I'd think that you could use that computer to provide some support somehow. Have the Runepriest player sit by the computer, and have a text chat window open as well as any voice/video chat. Runepriest types in all the bonuses he grants to people, displayed such that all participants on both ends can see it.
I don't know your specific group or setup, so you'd have to find a solution that worked for you. But I think that if you already had some technology involved in your gaming, you could find a technological solution to tracking bonuses like that.

What do you think of the various Runepriest feats that give "x bonus for each Rune feat you have"? Collect them all?
