D&D 4E List of Potential New Martial Practices

Aye, and you get your MPs or whatever BECAUSE YOU STAYED IN THE TEMPLE OF Fu Wandai, not because Flying Crane Kick is .5 DPR better than picking up Broadsword Specialization.

I will admit I like the idea of character changes always being integrated with character story... that can be player driven of course

 

[Garthanos]

So we shouldn't look feats too closely in the mouth... lol.

There is an issue for me. I feel guilty about the guy behind the curtain BUT not quite guilty enough to do the big trick of making a different set of feats for things like language skills.

This is rather inspired by putting Martial Techniques/Martial Arts on the Martial Practices menu of Character Builder

I think I have decided to go ahead and treat Battle Tongue as a martial practice, I first developed the idea as a Practice but I had been worrying that it was more consistant in effect with a Grand Master Training. NOW after realizing that Martial Techniques are indeed just a cousin of the GMT and after establishing how well they and MA work as practices. Presenting Battle Speech as a practice seems entirely reasonable after all.

Just an idea

With more martial practices and some having a flavor that recalls ancient greek heros
(I hate the term "Practiced Study" it makes Martial Practices feel very mundane.)

Mythic/Legendary Blood : You have inside you (blood of kings) I mean an ancient traditional and potent bloodline.
Benefits:
May use martial practices
Gain use of and several martial practices free. (blood-rites specifically) even if you lack the skill associated with them.
You also have an insight check to intuitively recognize others of bloodlines. This may even be strong enough to interfere with stealth attempts.

Cool. Theme-worthy, but cool

There is a theme that includes Alchemy so that is something of a precident.

The blood-line feats usually provide a power along side more passive effects.

Yeah, it would be simple enough to wrap that into a theme with some extra goodies.

Hmmm what about a Dragon Mark Feat... like

Mark of Blood/Kinghip/Royalty.
Insert other interesting things related to intimidation or easily obtained wealth or social power here .

You may learn and use the following Martial Practices as though you met the requirements for doing so. Blood Demand, Oath of Truth,Blood Bond and Heritage Claim.

 

[Garthanos]

i see no reason not to have a Dragon Mark feat if I can flush it out , a Bloodline Feat as well as Themes which interact with the new practices.

Even the Martial Arts Feats and Practices might include another practice... for instance

The Kung Fu Martial art feat which included the Zen Defensive practice might be an example which also include Transcendental Meditation practice as a freebie practice.

Are there any high wisdom rogue builds ?
