Other opinions?As a Sure Strike replacement:Hampering Blow Fighter Attack 1You aim a strike at your opponents knees or ankle, seeking to slow him down.At-Will Martial, WeaponStandard Action Melee weaponTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. ACHit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage (melee), and the target is slowed until the end of your next turn.Increase damage to 2[W] (melee) at 21st level.Hampering Blow somewhat steps on the toes of Steel Serpent Strike (Fighter Encounter 1) and Dance of Steel (Fighter Encounter 3). Although I'm noticing that, oddly, Steel Serpent Strike is more powerful than Dance of Steel?!!? Since those two powers need some rejiggering anyway, I can safely work Hampering Blow into the mix.</blockquote>
