Message: <blockquote data-quote="Zhure" data-source="post: 4441219" data-attributes="member: 308">A non-fighter (in this specific example, a Warlord), takes the Student of the Sword feat (page 208) sometime before level 10. Then at 11 he chooses the Swordmaster paragon path (page 88) instead of one of the less-than-stellar Warlord paths.At 11th level, among other things he gains "When you charge with a light blade or a heavy blade that is not a polearm, you can use Containing Strike or Reaping Strike instead of your melee basic attack." According to the update, one should 'replace “Containing Strike or Reaping Strike” with “cleave, reaping strike, sure strike, or tide of iron.”In simpler terms, a Warlord turned Swordmaster from one reading could charge and in lieu of a basic strike use any of the at-wills of a Fighter. But the Warlord-Swordmaster normally doesn't have access to any of these at-wills. I see three interpretations:1- he gains virtual Fighter at-wills and can use any of the four.(This means a Fighter-Swordmaster could use any of the four even though he would normally only have any two (or three if human) so this seems the least likely possiblity.)2- he chooses two which represent the ones he would've chosen as a Fighter and can instead use those.3- he cannot use this ability since he doesn't have access to any of the named at-wills.Which is more correct.Z</blockquote>
