[QUOTE="Ardulac, post: 5325473, member: 60893"] I think the main selling point of Unseen Spearhead is how it works with your Assassin's Strike encounter power. So at 1st level with 20 dex we might be looking at 4d4+2d6+1d10+10 (average 32.5) damage for two rounds of garroting with the Assassin's Strike on the first hit as opposed to 29 damage from the Unseen Spearhead (assuming a d8 spear), which is only slightly behind. At that point it becomes a matter of how you build your assassin. Unseen Spearhead works better if you get Vicious Weapons and crit enhancing feats. You can also take the rogue multiclass feat that lets you add sneak attack damage once per encounter to raise the Unseen Spearhead by 12 damage. On the subject of feedback for WotC, I would say that it would be nice if Unseen Spearhead was more explicit about what you can attack with. As it's written it is unclear whether they expect you to be attacking with the spear or drawing another weapon to attack with. If you do draw a new weapon, do you need a hand to continue "grabbing" them with the spear? [/QUOTE]
