Eventually, as long as the fighter is alive to swing, that brute strike is going to connect -- the warlord doesn't have that certainty."So that means it is different from Fighter Powers that are Reliable:Brute Strike Fighter Attack 1You shatter armor and bone with a ringing blow.DailyMartial, Reliable, WeaponStandard ActionMelee weaponTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. ACHit: 3[W] + Strength modifier damage.Since the Warlord abilities don't that means if you miss, well you miss.Pin the Foe Warlord Attack 1No matter where your foe turns, one of your allies is waiting for him.DailyMartial, WeaponStandard Action (no Reliable in that)Melee weaponTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. ACHit: 3[W] + Strength modifier damage.Effect: Until the end of the encounter, the target cannot shift if at least two of your allies (or you and one ally) are adjacent to it.So I think Effect is simply what this Exploit does beyond affecting the enemy.</blockquote>
