[QUOTE="eamon, post: 4388384, member: 51942"] Which is a good reason not to encourage it. And in any case, you don't need to make a character solely to abuse cascade of blows, boosting attack rolls is easy when your party composition is right - no need to go out of your way to achieve that. No, you really don't want to make cascade of blows worse for normal situations and broken if the party happens to contain a warlord and a warpriest (or several) - or whatever else will enable large bonuses, eventually. Edit: imagine you were that ranger, not necessarily esp. boosted for blade cascade, but you have a warlord and a warpriest in the party: either you have a bad cascade of blades (which rarely hits), of you first buff up with the warlord, and use the warpriests reroll to have a decent chance to completely obliterate a foe. That's not a fun power. And it's really swingy to... it's unlikely to go wrong, but woe to the DM that confronts them with an overlevel solo creature - it'll usually die fairly easily, but if the set-up fails for some reason, they'll be hopelessly outclassed (can you say TPK or obvious DM fudging?) The WotC errata works much much better. [/QUOTE]
