Martial Power excerpt: Arcane Trickster paragon path.

Here's what really caught my eye. With regards to February with DDi:

Also look for magic items from the legend of Drizzt, new features for rangers, warlocks, eladrin, gnomes, warforged (and more!)—and the debut of Player's Handbook 3's battlemind.

SWEET. All of it is sweet.

Also, PHB3 has 4 new races, 6 new classes. So I think we are don't know 1 from each category.

Really hope that PHB3 has the superior implements that were supposed to be in AV2.

Man, I really wish those living spells were in this months Dungeon - my players are going into the Mournland next week.

That looks to be correct.

We have

Monk - Psionic Striker
Arden - Psionic Leader
Psion - Pionic Controller
Battlemind - Psionic Defender (educated guess here)
Seeker - Primal Controller

Which leaves us with a Divine class to be confirmed...

Races is Minotaur, Wilden, Githzerai so far

I kind of like the wilden seeker image in the PH3 mini-gallery (it's the last one). It seems to be an improvement over the preview images we saw earlier. I especially like the legs -- IMO, it gives a more wild, primal touch to the race.

Regards.

I really like the Arcane Trickster paragon path. It's daily power is swee-eet, but the utility power is curiously worded: you create a wall that only you can see, and it blocks your enemies' line of sight... right.

Yes, the wording is a bit strange... I guess that the idea might be that the trickster and his allies are sort of made invisible by the wall. The enemies don't perceive the wall and so they might not realize that someone could be "hidden" behind.

It caused a phase lock in my parietal lobe...

The fifth pic on article shows a goat-feet race... maybe the new wilden appearance, maybe the new race.

That's my understanding as well. The wall effectively filters the character and his allies. If an enemy passes through the "wall", he can see the character normally.

It makese sense. Well, in the way I get what happens and accounting for that it's (illusion) magic. It's kinda like polarized glass - some light doesn't get through, but you won't notice it and it otherwise is just transparent.

A cool power, too.
