<blockquote data-quote="knightofround" data-source="post: 5265172" data-attributes="member: 27884"><p>There used to be a really good post of a martial controller: <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/235589-new-class-lancer.html" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/235589-new-class-lancer.html</a> . Sadly, it looks like most of the information in that thread has been removed.</p><p></p><p>So I decided to go about making my own martial controller class, drawing heavily upon the 4E monk power design as inspiration. The Dragoon is a tough, AoE heavy class, however most their AOE attacks are short range -- normally close blast. They combine their AOE with lots amounts of mobility from new movement types (Leap and Slither) to position themselves (and their Auras) where they are most needed on the battlefield. Instead of creating zones like most other controllers, Dragoons create mobile terrain, which travels with the Dragoon.</p><p></p><p>Well, let's get down to it.</p><p></p><p><strong>Update Notes: 08.20.10</strong></p><p>[sblock]08.20.10: Removed Reaping the Barley(AtWill 1), replaced with Furious Whirlwind(AtWill 1). Added flavor. Began working on paragon classes. Toned down the Scaleborn class feature, and made some of the old functionality available via a new feat. Altered several feats slightly. Fixed typos.</p><p></p><p>07.31.10: Added [Weapon] keyword to most powers. Adjusted low-level encounter powers downwards in damage. Added Miss: Half damage to most Daily powers. Changed most stances to suspend benefits upon actions, rather than canceling the stance. Fixed typos. Removed class bonus to social skills from build options, improved reach weapons in dragoon weapon talents.[/sblock]</p><p><strong>Class Statistics</strong></p><p>[sblock]<strong>Role</strong>: Controller</p><p><strong>Strengths as a Controller</strong>: Very durable and mobile, area attacks do not affect allies</p><p><strong>Weaknesses as a Controller</strong>: Short range and smaller area attacks</p><p><strong>Power Source</strong>: Martial</p><p><strong>Key Abilities</strong>: Strength, Charisma, Dexterity</p><p><strong>Armor proficiencies</strong>: Cloth, Leather, Hide, Chainmail, Scale</p><p><strong>Weapon proficiencies</strong>: Simple melee, military melee, simple ranged</p><p><strong>Bonus to Defense</strong>: +1 Fortitude, +1 Reflex</p><p></p><p><strong>HP at first level</strong>: 12 + Con mod</p><p><strong>HP per level</strong>: 5</p><p><strong>Healing Surges</strong>: 7 + Con mod</p><p></p><p><strong>Skills</strong>: Athletics, plus one additional skill depending upon build (see below). Plus two more of the following: Acrobatics, Diplomacy, Endurance, History, Intimidate, Perception, Stealth.</p><p>[/sblock]</p><p><strong>Class Features and Build Options</strong></p><p>[sblock]<strong>Scaleborn</strong>: Dragoons are as comfortable wearing heavy armor as if it were their own skin. While wearing heavy armor, instead of you armor bonus to AC, you can choose to add 3 + their Dexterity modifier to AC, as long as you are not encumbered.</p><p></p><p><strong>Dragoon Weapon Talents</strong>: Dragoons are feared for their prowess with reach weapons. All spears, staffs, and polearms that you use gains [Reach]. All weapons you use that originally have [Reach] also gain [High Crit].</p><p></p><p><strong>Battlefield Controller</strong>: Dragoons are specially trained to harry their opponents. All dragoons gain the <em>Combat Control</em> power.</p><p></p><p>At Will, <strong>Combat Control</strong> [Martial]</p><p>Minor Action, One enemy you hit this turn</p><p>Effect: You demark the target. Until the end of your next turn, while the target is demarked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you. A creature can be subject to only one demark at a time. Demarks do not stack with marks. A new mark, or a new demark, supersedes a mark or demark that was already in place.</p><p></p><p><strong>Build options</strong>:</p><p></p><p><strong>Draconic Cunning</strong>: Cunning Dragoons tend towards a secondary role of Defender. Cunning Dragoons slither across the battlefield, luring their foes to favorable ground, and then strike at their weakest point. You gain skill training in Diplomacy. You gain a class AC bonus vs. opportunity attacks equal to your Dexterity modifier. </p><p></p><p><strong>Draconic Might</strong>: Mighty Dragoons tend towards a secondary role of Striker. Mighty Dragoons leap across the battlefield, using brute force and muscle to pummel opponents into submission. You gain skill training in Intimidate. Whenever an effect forces you to move-through a pull, a push, or a slide-you can reduce the number of squares you move by a number of squares up to your Charisma modifier, rounded down.[/sblock]</p><p><strong>New Movement Types, Area of Effect type, Terrain Type and Condition</strong></p><p>[sblock]New Movement Type: <strong>Slither</strong></p><p>Slither is a new type of movement. When a Dragoon slithers, they can move both before and after an attack, up to a number of squares specified by the power. However, the maximum distance a Dragoon can Slither is limited by their speed.</p><p></p><p>The movement action does not end until the standard action is completed. For example, a Dragoon using a Slither 4 power could move 2 squares, attack, and then move the remaining 2 squares. Or instead, they could move 1 square, attack, and then move 3 squares.</p><p></p><p>New Movement Type: <strong>Leap</strong></p><p>Leap is a new movement type. When a Dragoon leaps, they can move through both occupied and unoccupied squares normally without provoking opportunity attacks. However, there are the following restrictions:</p><p></p><p>1. The Dragoon cannot be slowed, dazed, immobilized, or restrained</p><p>2. The Dragoon cannot carry any other creatures</p><p>3. The Dragoon cannot end its Leap in an occupied square</p><p>4. The maximum distance that a Dragoon can Leap is limited by their speed</p><p></p><p>New Area of Effect type: <strong>Leap Path</strong></p><p>Some Dragoon Full Discipline powers list either "Leap Path 1" or "Leap Path 2" as the attack area. A Leap Path attack is a Close Burst attack that collects additional targets that come within range while the Dragoon Leaps. First, the Dragoon adds all the targets within the initial close burst to the attack's area. Second, the Dragoon uses a Leap move action (most often supplied by the movement technique), and adds each square that comes within range to the attacks area. Third, once the Dragoon reaches their final square, they take the attack action.</p><p></p><p>Note: If there is any single square within the Leap Path where the target is both in range and you flank the target, then for the purposes of the attack you are considered as flanking the target. The same applies to all situational combat modifiers (cover, concealment, combat advantage, etc).</p><p></p><p>New Terrain Type: <strong>Mobile Terrain</strong></p><p>Mobile terrain is a new type of terrain effect that moves with the Dragoon instead of remaining stationary. All effects of the original terrain stack with the effects of mobile terrain. If the Dragoon moves, or is pushed, pulled, or slid, the Dragoon must roll a saving throw to sustain the effect. If successful, at the end of movement the Dragoon can recreate the mobile terrain according to the original parameters of the power. If the saving throw fails, its effect ends.</p><p></p><p>New Condition: <strong>Demarked</strong></p><p>While the target is demarked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you. A creature can be subject to only one demark at a time. Demarks do not stack with marks. A new mark, or a new demark, supersedes a mark or demark that was already in place.[/sblock]</p><p></p><p><strong>NOTE: All Dragoon powers have requirement: Reach Weapon, unless stated otherwise</strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Level 1 At-Will</strong></p><p>[sblock]<strong>Almighty Push</strong> [Martial, Weapon]</p><p>Close Burst 1</p><p>Target: Each enemy in burst</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC</p><p>Hit: 1[W]+ Strength modifier damage, and you push the target 1 square</p><p>Level 21: 2[W]+ Strength modifier damage, and you push the target 2 squares</p><p>Draconic Might: You push the target a number of squares equal to your Charisma modifier.</p><p></p><p><strong>Furious Whirlwind</strong> [Martial, Weapon]</p><p>Close Burst 1</p><p>Target: Each enemy in burst</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC</p><p>Hit: 1[W]+Strength modifier damage</p><p>Level 21: 2[W]+Strength modifier damage</p><p>Special: You may demark one creature you hit with this power as a free action.</p><p></p><p><strong>The Grapevine Twines</strong> [Martial, Weapon]</p><p>Standard Action, Melee Weapon</p><p>Target: One enemy</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC</p><p>Hit: 1[W]+ Strength modifier damage, and you pull the target 1 square. </p><p>Level 21: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage, and you pull the target 2 squares.</p><p>Draconic Cunning: After you pull the target, you can slide the target 1 square. </p><p></p><p><strong>The Leopard's Caress</strong> [Martial, Weapon]</p><p>Standard Action, Melee or Heavy Thrown Weapon</p><p>Target: One enemy</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC</p><p>Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the target is slowed</p><p>Level 21: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage</p><p></p><p><strong>The Ribbon Dances on the Breeze</strong> [Martial, Weapon]</p><p>Standard Action, Melee Weapon</p><p>Target: One or two enemies</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC, one attack per enemy</p><p>Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage.</p><p>Level 21: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage[/sblock]</p><p><strong>Encounter 1</strong></p><p>[sblock]<strong>Lizard in the Thornbrush</strong> [Full Discipline, Martial, Weapon, Slither]</p><p>Movement Technique</p><p>Move Action, Personal</p><p>Effect: Slither 4.</p><p></p><p>Attack Technique</p><p>Standard Action, Melee Weapon</p><p>Target: One enemy</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC</p><p>Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the target is immobilized (save ends).</p><p></p><p><strong>The Dove Takes Flight</strong> [Full Discipline, Martial, Weapon, Leap]</p><p>Movement Technique</p><p>Move Action, Personal</p><p>Effect: Leap 6</p><p></p><p>Attack Technique</p><p>Standard Action, Melee 1</p><p>Target: One enemy.</p><p>Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage.</p><p></p><p><strong>The Swallow Rides the Air</strong> [Full Discipline, Martial, Weapon, Leap]</p><p>Movement Technique</p><p>Move Action, Personal</p><p>Effect: Leap 4</p><p></p><p>Attack Technique</p><p>Standard Action, Close Burst 2</p><p>Target: Each enemy within burst</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC</p><p>Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage.</p><p></p><p><strong>Willow in the Storm</strong> [Martial, Weapon]</p><p>Immediate Reaction, Melee Weapon</p><p>Trigger: You are hit by an attack</p><p>Target: The triggering enemy within reach</p><p>Attack: Strength vs. AC</p><p>Hit: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the enemy takes a -2 penalty to all attacks.

[QUOTE="knightofround, post: 5265172, member: 27884"] There used to be a really good post of a martial controller: [url]http://www.enworld.org/forum/4e-fan-creations-house-rules/235589-new-class-lancer.html[/url] . Sadly, it looks like most of the information in that thread has been removed. So I decided to go about making my own martial controller class, drawing heavily upon the 4E monk power design as inspiration. The Dragoon is a tough, AoE heavy class, however most their AOE attacks are short range -- normally close blast. They combine their AOE with lots amounts of mobility from new movement types (Leap and Slither) to position themselves (and their Auras) where they are most needed on the battlefield. Instead of creating zones like most other controllers, Dragoons create mobile terrain, which travels with the Dragoon. Well, let's get down to it. [B]Update Notes: 08.20.10[/B] [sblock]08.20.10: Removed Reaping the Barley(AtWill 1), replaced with Furious Whirlwind(AtWill 1). Added flavor. Began working on paragon classes. Toned down the Scaleborn class feature, and made some of the old functionality available via a new feat. Altered several feats slightly. Fixed typos. 07.31.10: Added [Weapon] keyword to most powers. Adjusted low-level encounter powers downwards in damage. Added Miss: Half damage to most Daily powers. Changed most stances to suspend benefits upon actions, rather than canceling the stance. Fixed typos. Removed class bonus to social skills from build options, improved reach weapons in dragoon weapon talents.[/sblock] [B]Class Statistics[/B] [sblock][B]Role[/B]: Controller [B]Strengths as a Controller[/B]: Very durable and mobile, area attacks do not affect allies [B]Weaknesses as a Controller[/B]: Short range and smaller area attacks [B]Power Source[/B]: Martial [B]Key Abilities[/B]: Strength, Charisma, Dexterity [B]Armor proficiencies[/B]: Cloth, Leather, Hide, Chainmail, Scale [B]Weapon proficiencies[/B]: Simple melee, military melee, simple ranged [B]Bonus to Defense[/B]: +1 Fortitude, +1 Reflex [B]HP at first level[/B]: 12 + Con mod [B]HP per level[/B]: 5 [B]Healing Surges[/B]: 7 + Con mod [B]Skills[/B]: Athletics, plus one additional skill depending upon build (see below). Plus two more of the following: Acrobatics, Diplomacy, Endurance, History, Intimidate, Perception, Stealth. [/sblock] [B]Class Features and Build Options[/B] [sblock][B]Scaleborn[/B]: Dragoons are as comfortable wearing heavy armor as if it were their own skin. While wearing heavy armor, instead of you armor bonus to AC, you can choose to add 3 + their Dexterity modifier to AC, as long as you are not encumbered. [B]Dragoon Weapon Talents[/B]: Dragoons are feared for their prowess with reach weapons. All spears, staffs, and polearms that you use gains [Reach]. All weapons you use that originally have [Reach] also gain [High Crit]. [B]Battlefield Controller[/B]: Dragoons are specially trained to harry their opponents. All dragoons gain the [I]Combat Control[/I] power. At Will, [B]Combat Control[/B] [Martial] Minor Action, One enemy you hit this turn Effect: You demark the target. Until the end of your next turn, while the target is demarked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you. A creature can be subject to only one demark at a time. Demarks do not stack with marks. A new mark, or a new demark, supersedes a mark or demark that was already in place. [B]Build options[/B]: [B]Draconic Cunning[/B]: Cunning Dragoons tend towards a secondary role of Defender. Cunning Dragoons slither across the battlefield, luring their foes to favorable ground, and then strike at their weakest point. You gain skill training in Diplomacy. You gain a class AC bonus vs. opportunity attacks equal to your Dexterity modifier. [B]Draconic Might[/B]: Mighty Dragoons tend towards a secondary role of Striker. Mighty Dragoons leap across the battlefield, using brute force and muscle to pummel opponents into submission. You gain skill training in Intimidate. Whenever an effect forces you to move-through a pull, a push, or a slide-you can reduce the number of squares you move by a number of squares up to your Charisma modifier, rounded down.[/sblock] [B]New Movement Types, Area of Effect type, Terrain Type and Condition[/B] [sblock]New Movement Type: [B]Slither[/B] Slither is a new type of movement. When a Dragoon slithers, they can move both before and after an attack, up to a number of squares specified by the power. However, the maximum distance a Dragoon can Slither is limited by their speed. The movement action does not end until the standard action is completed. For example, a Dragoon using a Slither 4 power could move 2 squares, attack, and then move the remaining 2 squares. Or instead, they could move 1 square, attack, and then move 3 squares. New Movement Type: [B]Leap[/B] Leap is a new movement type. When a Dragoon leaps, they can move through both occupied and unoccupied squares normally without provoking opportunity attacks. However, there are the following restrictions: 1. The Dragoon cannot be slowed, dazed, immobilized, or restrained 2. The Dragoon cannot carry any other creatures 3. The Dragoon cannot end its Leap in an occupied square 4. The maximum distance that a Dragoon can Leap is limited by their speed New Area of Effect type: [B]Leap Path[/B] Some Dragoon Full Discipline powers list either "Leap Path 1" or "Leap Path 2" as the attack area. A Leap Path attack is a Close Burst attack that collects additional targets that come within range while the Dragoon Leaps. First, the Dragoon adds all the targets within the initial close burst to the attack's area. Second, the Dragoon uses a Leap move action (most often supplied by the movement technique), and adds each square that comes within range to the attacks area. Third, once the Dragoon reaches their final square, they take the attack action. Note: If there is any single square within the Leap Path where the target is both in range and you flank the target, then for the purposes of the attack you are considered as flanking the target. The same applies to all situational combat modifiers (cover, concealment, combat advantage, etc). New Terrain Type: [B]Mobile Terrain[/B] Mobile terrain is a new type of terrain effect that moves with the Dragoon instead of remaining stationary. All effects of the original terrain stack with the effects of mobile terrain. If the Dragoon moves, or is pushed, pulled, or slid, the Dragoon must roll a saving throw to sustain the effect. If successful, at the end of movement the Dragoon can recreate the mobile terrain according to the original parameters of the power. If the saving throw fails, its effect ends. New Condition: [B]Demarked[/B] While the target is demarked, it takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls against you. A creature can be subject to only one demark at a time. Demarks do not stack with marks. A new mark, or a new demark, supersedes a mark or demark that was already in place.[/sblock] [B]NOTE: All Dragoon powers have requirement: Reach Weapon, unless stated otherwise[/B] [B]Level 1 At-Will[/B] [sblock][B]Almighty Push[/B] [Martial, Weapon] Close Burst 1 Target: Each enemy in burst Attack: Strength vs. AC Hit: 1[W]+ Strength modifier damage, and you push the target 1 square Level 21: 2[W]+ Strength modifier damage, and you push the target 2 squares Draconic Might: You push the target a number of squares equal to your Charisma modifier.
