In addition, each ally within 5 squares of you gains a +2 bonus to Endurance checks and Intimidate checks.Meh. Fiddly and situational. Almost useless against DMs who try to avoid taking opportunity attacks. I really hope that +4 damage scales.Battle Guardian(opportunity action)Trigger: An enemy subject to your defender aura either shifts or makes an attack that targets an ally of yours but not you or an ally who has an active defender aura.Effect: You make a melee basic attack against the triggering enemy. If the attack misses, the enemy still takes damage equal to your Strength modifier.Ah, the missing mystery ability from the Knight preview. It's pretty much as I expected it to be. Switching the defender punishment from an Immediate action to an opportunity action is a very welcome change for many reasons. Looking at the wording, though, it's not clear whether this ability counts as an opportunity attack or whether it is an opportunity action that allows you to make a melee basic attack (it would make a difference for a number of items, feats, PP abilities etc.). It would best match the intuitive understanding if this attack counted as an opportunity attack. Let's see whether the wording in the book is more clear or if this needs a FAQ.human racial power called Heroic Effort. It's an encounter power that requires no action.Trigger: You miss with an attack or fail a saving throw.Effect: You gain a +4 racial bonus to the attack roll or the saving throw.Now that puts new fuel into the human speculation. I would absolutely welcome a human racial power. But it also means humans get a rewrite, and possibly a big one.</blockquote>
