Name Game

[chronoplasm]

Let's play a game guys!
Heres the rules:

First, I post a potential name for a power. Then the next person creates a power with that name. The power they create can be for any class, power source, level, whatever. It just has to use the name.

Once that person has created their power, they post it along with a name for the next power.

The next person to post critiques at least one of the powers previously made in the thread. That person then creates hir own power using the name that the previous poster came up with. Finally, that person suggest a name for the next power.

Each post continues this process.

Makes sense?

OK, so here is the first power name to start us off:

Twist the Knife

So the next person to post creates a power with that name, and then comes up with another name for the next person to create a power for.

Twist the Knife
Rogue 1
Encounter ✦ Martial, Weapon
Minor Action
Melee weapon
Target: One creature that you already hit with a melee attack this turn
Attack: Dexterity vs. Fortitude
Hit: Dexterity modifier damage and the target is dazed until the end of your next turn.
Brutal Scoundrel: Hit or Miss, you also deal Strength modifier damage.

So, how about Shattering Parry or Nightmare Realm for a followup.

Very nice Keterys, dazed is going to be quite a boon at 1st level, but i think you've balanced that nicely with requirement of spending your whole turn focused on the one target.

Here's my go at this intriguing little game

Nightmare Realm Wizard Attack 9
As you incant the hideous words of this spell, a bank of lingering green mist spews from the ground. All those within fight imagined nightmares, wimper in fear or scratch at their own eyes in an effort to rid themselves of such torturing visions.
_______________________
Daily ✦ Arcane, Psychic, Fear, Zone, Implement
Standard Action Area burst 2 within 20 squares
Target: Each creature in burst.
Attack: Intelligence vs. Will
_______________________
Hit: 3d6 + Intelligence modifier psychic damage and 5 ongoing psychic damage (save ends). If the target fails its first saving throw it becomes dazed (save ends).
Effect: The burst creates a zone of clinging mist that evokes nightmare images in the minds of those within until the end of your next turn. Creatures that enter the zone or start their turns there take 1d6 + Intelligence modifier psychic damage and 5 ongoing psychic damage (save ends). If the target fails its first save it becomes dazed (save ends). As a move action you can move the zone 4 squares.
Sustain Minor: The zone persists


Hmmm, for the next one? Call of the Siren, or The Sirens Lure

Sustain Minor: The zone persists

Admittedly, I don't have the best feel for balance in 4E, but this looks pretty reasonable.
I just wonder if it could be condensed a little to fit on a power card more easily.
Is in neccessary that creatures within the zone should have concealment?


...so any way...

The Siren's Lure- Bard Attack 1
Encounter. Charm
Standard-Action
Area burst 3 within 10 squares
Target: Each enemy in burst.
Attack: Charisma vs. Will
Hit: Slide the target adjacent to one ally in burst. That ally can make a basic melee attack against the target as a free action. That ally gains a bonus to hir attack and damage equal to your Charisma modifier.


Next:

Oggy Oggy Oggy!
"Oi Oi Oi!"

probably not, i'll get rid of it

Hit: Slide the target adjacent to one ally in burst. That ally can make a basic melee attack against the target as a free action. That ally gains a bonus to hir attack and damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Considering the forced movement and the size of the burst; and therefore the potentially many basic attacks (if you have a large, melee based party), i think this is perhaps a bit much, i'd suggest you give a bonus to attack or damage, but not both. Definately a cool power to describe happening

Also this definitely sounds pretty powerful for an encounter power - you could potentially get several free attacks off of it. Might be better as a Daily.

Actually, yeah; I agree whole-heartedly. I've just refered back to my homebrew class that has a similar power (sblocked below) that i was worried may be too powerful, and i think it's comparitively much weaker than yours (forced movement swaps out for slow effect, smaller radius & only a damage bonus).

[sblock]
Rapid Bout Navigator Attack 1
In the midst of a fray, you briefly quicken your comrades attacks to deal an unexpected blow to your foes.
_______________________
Daily ✦ Psionic, Implement, Time
Standard Action Area burst 2 within 10 squares
Target: Each enemy in burst
Attack: Each enemy in the burst is subject to a basic melee attack from an ally in the burst.
_______________________
Hit: Ally's basic attack damage + your Wisdom modifier damage.
Miss: Target is slowed until the start of your next turn.
Special: Each ally can only make one basic attack per round through the use of this power.[/sblock]

 

[chronoplasm]

Thanks! I'll fix it up later. Probably raise the level a little and make it a daily.

Remember though, Fragsie, that the game must go on!

We need Oggy Oggy Oggy! Oi Oi Oi! now.
Go crazy!

 

[keterys]

Oggy Oggy Oggy
Oi Oi Oi!
Warlord Utility 10
Encounter ✦ Martial
Minor Action
Close burst 5
Target: One ally who can hear you
Effect: You chant a battle cry. If the target answers the chant, it gains a +2 power bonus to attack and +5 power bonus to damage on its next attack made before the end of its turn. If that attack hits, the ally may then repeat the chant as a free action to repeat this power on a target who has not been a target of the power this encounter.

How about Ally's Delicious Fear or Impassable Gauntlet?

 

[NMcCoy]

Impassable Gauntlet
With a command to your allies, you form a defensive line and forbid enemies to pass.
Warlord Attack 9
Daily ✦ Martial, Weapon
Standard Action Melee weapon
Attack: Strength vs. AC
Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage.
Effect: Every ally within 10 squares of you can move 3 squares and make a melee basic attack against one target of his or her choice as a free action. Until the end of the encounter, enemies adjacent to you or an ally within 10 squares of you cannot shift.

Edit: Oh, right, next name. Your choice of Fire Penguin Rage or Gleeful Sabotage.
