[QUOTE="Manbearcat, post: 6068413, member: 6696971"] The "sort of" is the off-putting part for you then. Can you elaborate on your sense of "sort of" there. Can you evaluate it with respect to the below 1 - 5: 1) Close Burst 3; visible and audible area directly around the Fighter. Sensible and limited to that for balance concerns with other "of-level" abilities. 2) Str for attack; representing either (i) primal roar of defiance/challenge (ii) martial athletic training/warrior acumen/muscle memory/coordination at reproducing the movements of a feined retreat or repositioning. 3) Will for the defense being attacked; the enemy's physical body is not being imposed upon (Fort), its armor/defensive postures/coordination is not being circumvented (AC), its not an attempt to touch the physical body (Ref). It is testing mental resolve to resist the egocentric compulsion to engage or testing mental acuity/insight in detecting slight imperfections within the coordination of the athletic movements that may betray the feigned retreat/repositioning. 4) Enemies are slid (repositioned) to be adjacent (or as close to it) to the warrior after losing the Str vs Will test as they are drawn in. 5) Automatic 1W damage (with no Str modifier) to adjacent enemies. Less automatic damage (3-5 points) than a normal MBA. Another attack roll for a successful hit would marginalize the exploit into near worthlessness as its accuracy would be negatively affected outside the scope of other "of-level" options. [/QUOTE]
