[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 5032818, member: 6562"] If the PCs haven't met a particular monster (or type of monster) before, they should expect to be surprised. For example, the kobolds in KotSF sling napalm. Is slinging napalm now a kobold exclusive? Are all kobolds now required to sling napalm? Will the PCs feel ripped off if anyone else ever throws fire at them? The answer is no. Critters have a lot of powers, and if you want an orc who can teleport, it's not hard to make him do so plausibly. Brawny Rogues have a lot of options, because Str is supported by a LOT of paragon paths. Sure, Daggermaster is a bad choice for someone who doesn't use a dagger. But so what? That's not the only paragon path available. It's a very good path for crit-fishing, but most PCs don't go fishing for crits. If you want this guy to showcase his Strength, I'd look into some of the Fighter paragon paths, like Kensei. (Fighters also have some nice powers which allow you to add both your Str and Dex to attack and damage.) Hell, even the Ranger path Horizon Walker looks better (because Darkvision is awesome for a Rogue). This really isn't the right thread for this, though. Start a new one if you don't want to drop it.
