[QUOTE="CovertOps, post: 5259468, member: 65152"] @mkill: This sounds like a good idea, but I think you'll need to rework something like this: SNEAK ATTACK (5th edition) Rogue Class Feature Per Round Triggered Reaction Action Type: Free Trigger: You hit an enemy with an attack while you have combat advantage against that enemy. Required: You must be wielding a crossbow, a light blade, or a sling Effect: The attack deals 2d6 extra damage. Increase the damage to 3d6 at 11th level and 5d6 at 21st level. Aegis of Shielding (5th edition) You blunt an enemy's attack against your ally. Per Round - Arcane Triggered Interrupt - Close burst 10 Action Type: Immediate (you can only use one Immediate action per round) Trigger: An enemy you marked hits an enemy with an attack that doesn’t include you as a target Target: The triggering enemy Effect: You reduce the damage dealt by the attack by an amount equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier. At 11th level, reduce the damage dealt by 10 + your Constitution modifier. At 21st level, reduce the damage dealt by 15 + your Constitution modifier. I understand completely about the "hidden" once per round aspect of Immediate actions and even more so that you cannot use them on your turn. Last week in my game I had a 14th level Halfling Rogue/Shadow Assassin using a daily stance power that (as an immediate reaction) allows the PC to (at-will) attack anyone who attacks him/her. We couldn't find the rule on Immediate actions even though I was sure you couldn't use them on your own turn, so as DM I just let the player do it. Of course he was stacking that with the auto DEX damage from his PP (SA) and his +12 AC vs. OA's with Opportunity Knocks to: 1. Do DEX damage 2. Get CA 3. Once per round use his "riposte" attack from the stance. Of course working it this way makes that daily much more powerful OR it was underpowered to begin with since it requires the monsters to attack you. [/QUOTE]
