[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4800610, member: 2011"] I don't understand. Sure, he could be a great Stormwarden/Pit Fighter. He would gain +3 damage for Pit Fighter over a normal Stormwarden / Pit Fighter. What's your point? The guy is probably already averaging 30 or so points of damage per successful hit (without including Hunter's Quarry). What's 3 more? It's the equivalent of the Weapon Focus feat. Plus, he has to give up Epic Destiny to accomplish this. No insta-heal when going to zero hit points. No super cool attack powers or power regain powers. Just some extra damage and some Paragon level Encounter attack powers. At high levels, monsters have so many more relative hit points than PCs do that this would actually be a good thing. The striker is still a striker, even at high level. This would need a house rule. The REASON barbarians have the class feature is because of the math bug. So, drop the class feature OR only allow Barbarians to get a boost to 2 ability scores instead of 3. Simple. Just because WotC started throwing in a series of fixes into PHB II does not mean that the DM cannot make it easy on himself and fix the game system itself instead. Sure. It's not a risk at all. Or at least a lot less of a risk than the plethora of more potent feats and powers that WotC is adding to the splat books. It's fixing the math. [/QUOTE]
