[QUOTE="cavalier973, post: 5840380, member: 91595"] I feel I should point out that "Mobile Blade" allows a free move action, but it is not a shift. At level 4, the slayer can stow or draw a weapon as a free action (as opposed to a minor action); the character can have, for example, a bow ready, fire off a shot, then stow the bow as a free action, pull out the sword as a minor action, then move. If the character is in the "Mobile Blade" stance, then she can move into position, use a standard action to shoot with the bow, move again (up to four squares) as a free action, stow the bow with a free action, and draw the blade as a minor action. Your friend may not want to mess around with ranged attacks, of course, but it is an option. One other thing (again from MME): it's an Artifact called the [I]Book of Infinite Spells[/I]. It allows non-wizards to cast wizard spells. The character must study the BoIS for an hour during an extended rest, and she can replace any attack power she knows with a wizard attack power of the same level or lower; the replacement lasts until the end of the next extended rest.
