[QUOTE="The Halfling, post: 5844370, member: 349"] [b]an update[/b] Ok, so far I've gotten the Assassin, Herald, Pathfinder, Scoundrel, and Warrior worked up to Level 2. I want to get it completed to 5th level to allow for a good beginner set. I've rethought a bit on how to utilize basic attacks in the power structure. I'm also a bit torn on whether I should expand the basic attack to other power sources, or to keep it as the schtick of the Martial power source. As for the other powers sources, I thought that since Channel Divinity is the one recurring ability between the various divine classes, it should be the the defining property of the Divine power source. I envision allowing divine classes to sacrifice daily powers to enable additional uses of CD. I do something similar already in my new martial power classes. Here's the wording I'm currently using for the Power Strike feature for my Warrior class to give an example of how it would work: During an encounter, you may use the power strike attack power once for each daily power you have unexpended. Each time you choose to use power strike, you must select one unexpended daily power that will be unavailable for use during the remainder of the encounter. After a short rest, you regain the use of any unexpended daily powers. Power strike cannot be used if you do not have any unexpended daily powers. The primary difference would be that a divine class would get on free use of CD, then can sacrifice dailys as needed during an encounter. But this is still in the brainstorming stage. I haven't looked to closely at the CD powers yet to see how unbalancing this ultimately would be. Arcane and Primal are a bit less cohesive, and may not have an over-arching mechanic. [/QUOTE]
