Excerpt: The Warlord

[baberg]

EnWorld is slow as molasses in January - that must mean something new was leaked!

I'm starting to get a little worried about all of these +1 and +1+INT bonuses, plus terrain and flanking and... Seems like it could get really, really hard to keep all of this straight.

 

[Fallen Seraph]

I could see there being lots of slots to add bonuses and negatives on character sheets to keep things straight.

So, is this how the plethora of stacking bonuses from 3E going to be addressed? Powers grant a power bonus, regardless of class? I'm guessing power bonuses don't stack with each other.

Interesting.

Yeah it would appear that there may be only 2 types of named bonuses in the game....power and enhancement.

The raw powers are a little confusing because they don't have the actual numbers written out.

The great news is that Int or Str will never, never, EVER change in the middle of combat.

it's sunday!?

Well, good to know.

I'd ask where this was revealed, but it's irrelevant. I like this pairing of two ability scores to a Defense, and chosing the best.

My Character Sheet reveals (As far as we know, at least) How a game will look and feel. I've been able to determine a lot about how my character will feel by just looking at the sheets available so far.

Let me know what you think.

In the sidebar, it is indicated that Bane is a new core god, and I assume that this is the same Bane as in FR. Was this known already?

Yup, but it was from a early Design & Development article, here is what it said about Bane:

Bane: Here's another god whose placeholder name just stuck, despite some reservations. We wanted an evil war god in the pantheon, and without Heironeous, Hextor didn't make a lot of sense. We wanted the kind of heavily militaristic god whose temples you might find among non-evil societies who have spent long years at war, as well as among hobgoblins. We wanted a god who embodied just the sort of tyrannical dictatorship that Bane stands for in the Forgotten Realms. We started calling him Bane as a placeholder. He went through a number of different, unsatisfying names. Finally, someone said we should just call him Bane. So Bane he remained.

Bastion of Defense Warlord Attack 1
Honorable warriors never fall!

Daily Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Target: One creature
Attack: Strength vs. AC

Hit: 3[W] + Strength modifier damage. Allies within 5 squares of you gain a +1 power bonus to all defenses until the end of the encounter.

Effect: Allies within 5 squares of you gain temporary hit points equal to 5 + your Charisma modifier.

I am confused. Does the "effect" happens on a miss, hit, or both?

Happens regardless of if the power hits or misses.
