Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mattachine" data-source="post: 5609233" data-attributes="member: 6678226">Thanks for the commentary--this is exactly the sort of thing I am looking for, too.Edit1: The alchemist gets to choose encounter powers during every short rest, so the dailies really are the customization. On the other hand, there are significant benefits to taking the daily that goes with your alchemical specialty. On the third hand, those bonuses aren't that big. Idea: what about adding some more dailies to choose from that don't have specialty riders?Edit2: The Brute and the Champion are basically Essentials classes. The way the powers automatically scale with level, and the fewer powers to choose from, are borrowed directly from Essentials.Edit3: Dual blades augments have significant effects, such as making the power Melee 5. I couldn't think of something much more creative for the standard dual blade attack. Any ideas?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Edit4: Tanks!Edit5: Psywarrior uses power points, so I don't know if it would mesh well with Essentials-style. I definitely wanted a psionic striker that used power points, too. As for the Champion, Certain Strike scales with level--so, do you just mean doing the format differently?Edit6: Tanks! Edit7: Skirmisher: Rapid strike relies on Int, and Impact strike on Wis. I mentioned it in the builds, and powers use those stats starting at level 3Alchemist: I see what you are saying about daily riders, as I noted above. I could write some more powers, or simply allow some of the added bonuses to tie in to an ability score, without the class feature. Maybe you are right about the mystic, as well (using two secondary stats).Brute: I was not sure about the immovable class feature. Maybe just a fixed reduction in forced movement?Psywarrior: I am not very familiar with Essentials (I have only looked online a bit and browsed a book briefly)--how would that book handle power points?</blockquote>
