[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 5125311, member: 63"] I kinda wish they'd taken a different option. You get power points still, and the 1st level at-wills can be augmented, but instead of replacing encounter powers with higher level at-will powers, you'd get additional augments that you could add to any power. So like, ardents can Demoralize, Energize, Focus, or Ire. When you use one of those, you can spend power points to enhance it. Or you can spend power points to activate a higher level augment, which is not a power of its own, just a rider. Maybe these could include utility things like "ally gets a save" or "ally gets resist 5 [energy type]," or attacks like "any other enemy adjacent to the target takes 5 damage (save ends)" or "the target experiences a moment of recent history; one ally chooses an expended encounter power and uses it on the creature." Or maybe you'd conjure a minion of ectoplasm, or link the local area to the far realm, letting you adjust the terrain, though that's more controller-y than leader-y. Obviously they'd spend more than 5 minutes coming up with the idea. You'd end up with flexible hodgepodge powers. Sort of like how full style monk powers let you mix up nifty moves and attacks, this would let you mix up core powers and rider effects. [/QUOTE]
