[QUOTE="Revinor, post: 4111011, member: 25037"] Mage hand at will is very good flavor power for wizard. Should be more then enough for starters. Some of the racial powers are also quite interesting (especially fey step, you can impress your fellows by teleporting to ladies toilet every few minutes) What about other classes? I'm not saying there was so much of flavor powers in 3e, but 4e is supposed to be better :) In case nothing will be provided in PHB, it should be quite easy to house-rule flavor powers in, as they are not game breaking. Some examples: Paladin - Fountain of Pureness: beer in, holy water out Ranger - Hug the Tree: always able to recognize trees he has touched, so not getting lost in forest Fighter - None. We are not THAT far from 3e to make Fighter interesting. Warlord - One More Spoon for the Uncle: Possibility to shift/pull/push food on the plates during dinner, without anybody being able to say no to the new meal Warlock - Come On Baby, Light My Fire: being able to ignite any pile of wood by standing on it and screaming Cleric - Preaching: bonuses for Bluff and Diplomacy when trying to extort money from somebody Wizard - Who Needs a Wife When You Have a Spell: Mage Hand already covers flavor for nerdy mages in glasses Rogue - Steal the Light: Ability to become center of conversation by pulling coins from others' ears [/QUOTE]
