Exactly. The benefit is static and the cost is increasing. Which breaks it very quickly.

swords are the best dexterity weapons.

it's still always -10%

True, but a minus to hit effects all the [W]s of daily, if we want power attack to be used for anything other than basic attacks it needs to effect all the [W]s too. it's -10% to hit which should be matched by +10% to damage not +2 to damage

PHB pg. 27 "You can take each power only once"

power throw should be vs. Fort (brutes harder to throw than skirmishers)

In D&D terms that's about one every three rounds.

it should be per [W] damage, not a flat bonus. It's not that bad for basic attacks as it is, but it's horrible for powers.

5d10 is way too much 4d10 is a bit much too. I'd keep it down in the 2d10 range. AKA 1st level encounter power. I like Farstrand's idea. Make it take a special power to fire it. That prevents it from being used with other powers. Which might allow for 3d10 considering the team effort...

ok, my answer is pretty much no. But I'll back it up. ballistae are siege weapons. They do belong in the D&D universe, but in the hands of armies. There's a reason they've been missing from the books for a couple editions now. (they existed back in 2E) PCs fight skirmishes. And then...

Bah. Clerics and paladins have radiant damage powers for a reason. and warlords making undead go poof doesn't make a whit of sense.

so that's a 3E house rule that you're converting into 4E right? How about instead of AC only for confirmation roles. the helm forces them to role 1, 2 or 3 dice instead of maximizing. While still getting the usual bonus dice.

I like it. Currently multiclassing is an option that's just about too good to pass up.

The problem I see is that it makes to want to get attacked... which is a very defender trait. Though overall I like it.

omg fluff

The main reason I don't see it as viable is because OAs are a key part of what makes a defender. Not that a defender can't have ranged attacks (paladins have plenty), but that defenders must have a strong basic melee attack. The other key reason is that the monsters will always engage the...

Meta game wise there's no need for it since heavy armor users already have low ref defenses due to stat dumping.

well to try to pull it back on topic a bit feat: tower shield allows +3 AC/REF -2 check -1 speed 30 gp 30 lbs and you can only use off hands feat: tower defense an additional +1 if you don't move or if you take a total defense or second wind. on the weak side on purpose since they can stack...

It's not the tracking really. It's that it never really effects your tactics. You fight in the same formation either way. In other words it's not the cost, it the lack of benefit.
