[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 4862590, member: 54846"] Putting this behind a spoiler, because it's a tangent. :) [sblock] I honestly was hoping the Avenger would be the Witch Hunter, ala WFRPG/Warhammer Online. But I just like ranged weapons, and it seems like the Ranger is the only guy that gets to bust them out to their most useful effect. Granted, the Bard, Artificer have builds that facilitate ranged weapons, but some are just okay and they're very magical (which I Like, but I'd enjoy a martial counterpoint too). The archer rogue is less potent, because getting CA at range is much more tricky. So the ranger is the only guy that really rocks ranged weapons. I felt that the Warlord should have ranged weapon powers; a guy who leads from the back ranks, firing his bow while saying "You, go over there!" Instead the Warlord is the guy in Front saying "You, come here!" I've pondered things like ranged defenders* (both with weapons and magic), and a ranged (magical) Avenger. Nothing ever really came of fruition, and even if it did, I'd be making it just because it doesn't exist and I like it. *Yes I know, a ranged defender would act like a controller. But I had worked out a concept of how it might work.[/sblock] So what do folks think of the powers in the article, since those have yet to be discussed? ;) [/QUOTE]
