I'm not sure if devious parry is overpowered for a level 10 daily, but i could be wrong.Khaalis:What where do you think you're going were an encounter power?Charismatic feint is a "power-ization" of the improved feint feat from 3e.defensive flourish:  yeah, just trying to find a way to word it without it becoming brokenly powerful</blockquote>
