[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 4745282, member: 61155"] There are two main issues I see with that as a solution: 1) It works for the striker damage features from the PHB. What happens when the hybrid rules expand to cover other, newer strikers, that might not use such a flat damage bonus mechanic? 2) Would you also have it prevented from use when using fighter marks, which have a similar restriction in the hybrid rules? If not, then you can have a Fighter/Striker that can basically act like a perfect defender all day long while doing striker level damage - the exact thing we want to have the hybrid rules avoid creating. There needs to be trade-offs. Right now, I'm a fan of the method they are using to restrict these class features, as it very well fulfills the ability to be a full striker or a full defender at any given time, but not both at once. It does limit the usefulness of basic attacks and some other tactics, but that seems a fair trade for the versatility gained. [/QUOTE]
