Adding another log. Lightning Panther Strike.

[Engilbrand]

I actually like most of these names. They sound better than "Hit fast!" I could actually see Conan jumping at someone and clawing and biting their face. He wouldn't use the same naming convention, but he would do it.
"What was that?!"
"I beat the hell out of him. He tastes like chicken."

1: Conan isn't the only barbarian in the world of fantasy literature.

WRONG!

The book clearly states, and I quote, Conan THE Barbarian. He is the standard by which all barbarians are too be judged by.

My God, I've been hit by Panther Lightning!

Why this strike is automatic
It's systematic
It's hydra-static
Why it's Panther Lightning!

We'll get some Drunken Donkey Punches and some Four Wind Blows
oh yeah
A Flying Wumpus Leap and some Mithril Plated Teeth
With PC Dragonborns and some elfy welfy porn
We'll be finding lots of pleasure in our useful unique treasure
Panther Lightning!

He wouldn't use the same naming convention, but he would do it.

So how, if the name's going to have to be changed, is it better than using a descriptive name?

LOL! My barbarian will definitely rename his attacks to stuff like Donkey Punch, Angry Dragon, and Greyhawk Steamer!

Dangit, someone beat me to the donkey punch joke.

I think you're missing the point.

This preview suggests that you will be able to play a barbarian who... leaps on his enemies with his bare hands and bites them in the face!

That's much more important to me than an ability name.

You know, that sounds great! Leaping into battle and biting your enemies sounds like a great ability. Better names for that would be:

Facechewer

Heck, even PATHER LEAP. Is better than Lightning Panther Strike.
WTF is that? Is it a lightning strike? Or is there some type of lightning panther I've never heard about. Do they shoot lightning out their eyes or are they just really fast? If they're just really fast, maybe its more like a lightning strike, which is also really fast. Either way it sounds like a ninja move.

Watch out for those Lightning Panthers. I hear they don't strike twice.

Lighting Panther Strike->Go For The Eyes Boo!

No doubt about it now. 4e isn't anime. It's kung fu.

<sarcasm>Yeah, that's sooo wonderful. It emulates iconic barbarians like Conan perfectly.</sarcasm>

Conan? Maybe not. It is pretty much what every Barbarian I've ever seen played wishes he could do, though. When I say my character fights tooth and nail, the more literal I can be, the better.

I support the Face-Biting Strike of Face-Melting Awesome.
