It is probably a decent bit better than standard level 1 encounter powers. I think the damage and the temphp concept is ok. As a non-weapon melee attack power starting out against a NAD defense the +2 is appropriate.Giving it reliable and expend an HS both do put it a bit above other starting powers. It will wane with higher levels though since it has no way to get an enhancement bonus. A natural issue with all 'touch' type powers. So probably at high levels it will basically not be much used since around paragon you will start to have a hard time hitting with it and by that point releasing an HS isn't a huge deal (though it is nice that it does so without needing another action to be spent).Overall I think it is going to be pretty strong at low levels, usable at paragon, useless at epic. What I might do is knock out the reliable and the HS features and add them back in as racial feats, probably also with a tier scaled to-hit bonus so it can actually land a hit at say epic. Reliable means at that level you will EVENTUALLY hit with it, but it wouldn't be a sensible choice vs definitely hitting a couple times with an at-will. Or you might even leave the reliable, I kind of like reliable, though it was really meant to make missing with your daily not such a sad thing.</blockquote>
