In that case, I believe it is just a stat boost, as I do not recall the binder rolling extra damage on a regular basis. However, the binder has the ability to 'assimilate' spirits, and can take on their abilities as semi-disposable extra powers or boons, so that gives them a little bit of a spin. I'm unclear whether there is a specific mechanic that facilitates this or if it's something the adventure would have to write in.
The Deathpriest at-wills are still weapon based, being a Warpriest; they tend to debuff the target, rather than buff allies. Fun part is, they do so with an Effect line, rather than requiring a hit.
Thanks Nullzone!
The Binder sounds like a cool new twist on the Warlock - somewhat like the Vestige. It gives them alot more flexibility. I am hoping it is Charisma based as main stat.
While not a fan of pure melee "clerics", I do really like the Effect lines they get on their at-wills.
Do any of the characters have new feats from the Shadow book?
