Martial Power II: New Warlord Builds

[D'karr]

My "fix" for the doubled up defense "problem" an Int-secondary rogue would have would be to allow their Int mod to be used in place of Wis or Cha when determining Will. This would be part of the Int-secondary Rogue Talent, whatever it's name would be. I'd call it "Slippery Mind."

Similarly, for a prescient bard, they could have done something like "Prescient Reflexes," where when you select the Virtue of Prescience you get to add your Wis in place of your Int or Dex when determining your Reflex defense.

I would like to see a Ranger build that uses dexterity instead of strength when using two weapon fighting powers. Very swashbuckly.

I love Warlords!! Both builds have me excited!! I'm overusing exclamation points and I don't care!!

A Dex/Int rogue makes a lot of sense.

Agreed. This is one of the major archetype holes that needs filling in my opinion.

Yeah, my houseruled Int based rogue got this and the encounter ability to add Int to a skill roll or saving throw.

I am hoping for a fighter with decent ranged ability. Just an at-will and a few other things would be good.

Yeah, after watching the newest movie, I really want to play Sherlock Holmes; I think Dex/Int would be a perfect fit.

Skirmishing Warlord
You scoff at the notion that war takes place on the front lines. Your talents are akin to the skills of archers, sneaks, and scouts. You recognize that their contributions are as vital as the efforts of melee combatants. You help allies by sharpening their timing, directing their maneuvers, and pointing out targets with your own ranged attacks.

This build will go leaps and bounds towards me shifting (heh) from hating to loving the warlord.

A sniper rogue? Oh hell yes. I've been thinking that's been lacking for a long time.

Wow. Ranged weapon users are getting some serious love this year. A new Warlord and Rogue build, plus the Seeker.

Rangers:

That is a shame. I likethe Rogue getting some ranged ability, but a bit of fighter heavy thrown love would be nice.
