[QUOTE="maximumbrax, post: 5096995, member: 88235"] Hey I was hoping to get some feedback on an idea for a power, perhaps paragon path, that I was thinking about creating. To separate it from combat powers (and not take away one of the few combat powers you get in 4e anyway) I thought I might make a ritual that must be performed in order to gain access to the power for the day. Anyway, it's very homebrew, and the level reqs, etc are not figured out, but I'd love some feedback. The paragon path is the Confessor, who is all about psychic domination and telepathy. Ritual: Confessor's Dominion Casting time: 1 hour Duration: Instant LVL: Cost: Effect: You gain the Confession daily power. Confession You lay your hand upon another and silent force explodes from your enemy as you shatter his will. Daily Reliable (Special) Melee Touch * Psionic *Domination Intelligence vs Will Hit: You lose one healing surge and this power is used for the day. The enemy is helpless in your grasp and his resistance to your inquisition vanishes. The target must honestly answer a number of questions equal to your charisma modifier. He cannot lie, and will try to answer the best he can, but cannot answer questions to which he does not know the answer. He tells the truth as he knows it, so if he is deceived, his answers will reflect the deceit. Each answer takes a standard action and during the rounds where this power is active you cannot take other actions. You remain in a psionic grapple with the target until the power runs out or you choose to end it. Aftereffect: The target is stunned (save ends). You are dazed until the end of your next turn. Miss: You lose a healing surge, but do not expend this power. You and the target are dazed (save ends). Once you use this power, you cannot use it again until you have performed the ritual. [/QUOTE]
