Archer Bard 2nd At-Will Ideas?

[The Human Target]

Aggravating Force is a very good model.

If I wanted a power that looked like this....

At-will
arcane, weapon
Ranged Weapon
CHA vs AC
1(w) + CHA mod damage and the next ally to hit the target before the end of your next turns gains +X to damage.

What should the damage bonus be? A flat number, or based on Wis modifier?

Wis modifier would be fine, so long as it's a Power bonus to damage.

Based mostly on the Avenger's Leading Strike, I think +WisMod would be just fine.

I think the design principle here is that to-hit bonuses should be static and to-damage bonuses should scale, but there's enough counter-examples that I wouldn't write it in stone.

Cool, I'll give him that as an option then. Its nothing flashy, but its helpful.

Now to name it and whip up some flavor text.

I'm thinking of having his arrow magically illuminate the weak points in a targets armor.

Or maybe something else more in tune to the sort of fortune/psychic related theme of the prescient bard.

Foreshadowing of Pain

Just like the sound of it.

 

[The Human Target]

Yeah thats pretty good.

Might be easier to relax the restrictions on the other Bard at-wills. Let him choose another one he likes and use it as a ranged power with his bow. Sure, it is a little powerful, but you make it sound as if he is kind of in a rut with Jinx Shot, and this might help him have a little more fun.
