[QUOTE="riplox, post: 4401780, member: 74488"] The unconditional dazed condition change makes a lot of sense. Dunno why I had it like that in the first place. As for the Force of Spirit ability, I think it needs to stay with sacrificing healing surges (2 surges for the ability). The original class [I]did[/I] deal damage to him when he used it, but only because that was really the only way to express the transference of life force into the weapon via rules. However, with 4E, we have the surges which work much better flavor-wise and allow for a damage output with lower variation between the extremes. Also as a side note, in the DMG they have a section on environmental effects which, if you fail the DC, you're drained of a healing surge. On the subject of healing surges, DanChops, yes the HSV is equal to 1/4 your HP. So really, the only question is: Do we raise the FoS damage to 4[w] or not? EDIT: Oh and with the Backlash Parry ability, I'm not sure Constitution should really be the only ability in that skill. I want to try and stay away from a really MAD class. So how should I express the bonus? [/QUOTE]
