D&D 4E Duskblades for 4e

[Saishu_Heiki]

Also keep in mind, this character can really load on the damage with this power. He has already taken Arcane Brute, so it would be 1[W] + Int (power) + Str (Arcane Brute) + 1d4 (Arcane Strike) + Str (Arcane Brute bonus to Arcane Strike)

And he can do this with a greatsword/axe.

*Sigh* The idea for the power was based on the 3.5 PHB2 spell of the same name. The idea behind the (admittedly, poor) design of the power was a sacrifice of HP for above average damage. I have changed the power to strength modifier do to popular demand, but I really no longer thing the power is deserving of its name, or heritage.

Try a playtest. Run maybe five rounds of 4 pre-gens against a standard 1st level encounter.

Then, run the same five rounds, the same monsters, against 2-3 pre-gens and 1-2 of your Duskblade characters.

The Elf race is on the wizards site.

This way, you can see how things are different with the Duskblade, to see if it alters anythingl.
