To-hit bonuses are few and far between in 4E. Second, weapon effects are typically extras you get when you hit with a certain type of weapon, like outlined in my proposal.Third, the power needs something to differentiate itself from a basic attack even if you are not using a flail. This is a problem caused by my revision (your power already did this). I had to invent an entirely new effect to do this. Consider this effect a sketch and/or placeholder, not sure my effect i balanced and appropriate, I just wanted to put something there to demonstrate. You could put the -2 attack penalty in that spot and invent some other bonus for the flail. Hm, I think I can quckly dream up such a variant too:Around and Back - Fighter Attack 1You hit your opponent in the back, disorienting them for a few seconds.At-Will * Martial, WeaponStandard Action - Melee weaponTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. AC- Weapon: If you are wielding a flail and the target is using a shield, you gain a +2 bonus on the attack roll.Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the target takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls until the end of your next turn.- Level 21: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage.</blockquote>
