[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 4690226, member: 63508"] Here's my idea for a create a power system. Basically you take one of the power skeletons and add/subtract attributes whose points values sum up to a certain amount depending or the type of power. There are 4 power skeletons. 1 for each attack type. Each attack gains a power source keyword (Martial, Divine,...) and an accesory keyword (Weapon, Implement). Melee Standard Action, Melee Weapon Target: One Creature Attack: Primary Attribute Modifier (PAM) vs AC Hit: 1W + PAM damage Ranged Standard Action, Ranged Weapon Target: One Creature Attack: Primary Attribute Modifier (PAM) vs AC Hit: 1W + PAM damage Close Standard Action, Close Burst 1 Target: Each creature in burst Attack: Primary Attribute Modifier (PAM) vs AC Hit: 1W + PAM damage Area Standard Action, Area burst 1 within 10 squares Target: Each creature is burst Attack: Primary Attribute Modifier (PAM) vs Reflex Hit: 1d6 + PAM damage 2) Each power type has a different power modifier sum. Power modifiers may be taken more than once and the effects are cummulative. At-will powers: 1 Encounter powers: 2 in heroic, 5 in paragon, 7 in epic Daily power: 4 in heroic, 7 in paragon, 9 in epic Sample Power Modifers -2: No PAM damage on Hit -1: Add damage type (fire, necrotic, poison) -1: Remove Weapon or Implement Keyword 0: Attack targets Fortitude or Will instead of Reflex 0: Ranged 5 instead of Ranged weapon 0: Hit deal 1d6 damage instead of 1W 0: Add damage type (cold, electric, thunder) 1: Blast or Wall instead of burst 1: Hit also pushes the target 1 square 1: Hit also knocks the target prone 1: Hit deals an additional 1W 1: Hit or Miss also causes minor ailment (dazed, slowed, grants combat advantage) until the end of your next turn 1: Hit or Miss causes onging damage 5 1: Hit or Miss grants target -2 penalty to one defense or attack rolls until end of your next turn 1: Hit or Miss grants target -SAM penalty to one defense or attack rolls until end of your next turn 1: Increase damage dice one size 1: Increase burst or area size by 2 1: Increase Range by 5 squares 1: Ailment lasts until save ends instead or end of turn 1: Hit deals Secondary Attribute damage 1: Add damage type (radiant, acid, psychic) 1: Attack is Realible 1: +2 to the attack roll 1: Attack deal half damage on Miss 2: Attack targets Reflex instead of AC 2: Hit or Miss also causes major ailment (stunned, immobilized, blinded) until the end of your next turn 2: Additional 1W attack after primary attack Of course it is up to the DM the allow the attack for balance or sense purposes (Martial attacks dealing fire damage etc).
