That means that there are probably also quite a few Epic Destinies. Huzzah! It's also pretty cool that a class training feat can qualify you for a PP. It opens up the possibility for a TWF Ranger with Rogue training going into the Stormcaller and tearing things up. What about a Warlord/Rogue who can suddenly gain some Combat Advantage. Nice.This is where I feel the need to weigh in on the ridiculous grammar argument:Dictionaries are dumb. They give you a definition if you come across a word that you don't know, but they can't do that with ALL words. They can't do it with new words or newer meanings for words. "Mouse" was only recently added to the dictionary to mean "that crazy little thing that controls the arrow on your monitor". Before that point, though, it was still a mouse. I become annoyed when my students or fellow teachers try to tell me that something isn't "correct". Words change over time. Especially English. I teach English and German in an American high school. I'm also 25. I can guarantee that I don't have the same view on language that the other English teachers have. As far as I'm concerned, "they" and "their" can be used as 3rd person singular pronouns. "One" is stupid. I prefer "If a student doesn't have anything to do during seminar, they will have to go get a book from my bookcase." to "If one does not have a book, then one must retrieve one from the bookcase." Blah.I like the Kensei. It has cool powers. "But what about the name?!" So? It's not a big deal. I try to take very little seriously. Especially in reference to a game where you pretend to be a super-intelligent dragon-thing with the power to fly. Why, with everything else that you could get uptight about, would a strange name become an issue? Is there an issue with Stormcaller because you've never used it before? If not, just pretend that you don't know that Kensei is from a different language.I've seen games talk about using "Brands", "Zweihanders" and other stuff like that. The rest of the game is in English, but they throw out some of these other words. Where's the problem? Nowhere.Ridiculous.</blockquote>
