[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 5986137, member: 710"] At least now I know what you're talking about! Tide of Iron let's you attack one guy once. Rain of Blows let's you make up to 3 attacks if you fulfill the prerequisites. Rain of Blows is a Level 3 Encounter Power - at the level you qualify for the 15 ft Prone-Knocking Tide of Iron, you're Paragon and will soon be replaced. But why does this require no special setup - because you're really, really good at it - represented by two feats devoted at this type of tactic. You are so good that people cannot avoid you setting up that maneuver - bu they clearly can still defend against it (unless you never miss, be it due to luck or strange math.) That said, I'd say the combination of feats is a bit too strong. But it's nothing compared to being able to have an animal companion with almost as much fighting potential as a Fighter and then still having spells and being able to polymorph into a creature with similar fighting ability as a Fighter...
