Is this the return of Targ Bonechewer?
Nah, although it's probably a similar build modulo the extra 5 levels. This one's a kobold, and he's replacing a gnome. I can't stay away from the monster manual races, it seems.
I agree. That would suggest that its been changed, at the very least, since the original seemed to apply to everything. And it seems odd to grant a +3 attack at higher levels, given the way that attack bonuses scale. Unless this is an explicit effort for improving high level attack bonuses?

In my non-Japanese copy, it applies to everything, but all the rest is correct.
1) What do you think is going to shock/amaze people the most? What do we not see coming?
2) We've only seen 3 levels of the Invoker. It's hard to gauge how they really differ from wizards, and how they feel as a divine class. Can you give us a good idea of what their "schtick" is, as far as controllers go?
3) What feats are geared towards non-PHB2 classes/races? Any "universally useful" feats, like Improved Initiative? How about feats for PHB1 races/classes?

ok two independent source confirm it...I was just hopeing for prereqs....guess I was wrong...it is power creep...
You know...I really like that actually. Everyone hates missing with encounters and dailies...it can ruin a whole session. And while +1 to all those powers is a very strong feat, it's not a no-brainer because it isn't just a naked power-up to all attacks. The huge DPR builds right now are usually based on a strong at-will like Twin/Dual Strike and they didn't need a big boost.
I'm sold. Now rein in Rain of Blows and maybe...maybe Marked Scourge, and I think I'll breathe easier about melee damage. (Mind you, I don't mind melee characters doing a lot of damage...after all, monsters have a lot of hit points. I'm more worried about keeping characters in the same ballpark for damage, i.e. one character in the party shouldn't be one-shotting solos while the rest are his cheering section. Unless it's like four warlors and a ranger who have geared their whole concept towards that...ok, shutting up now.)
Goddamn it. Ok, disregard everything I said above.
(So much for WotC pulling a genius move out of its hat, lol. Guess they don't believe in tracking too many different to-hit numbers...or about the perception of power creep.)
The best I can guess is that they really do feel that attack bonuses don't scale fast enough to keep up with high level armor class. That's the ONLY reason to make a feat that scales attack bonus by tier. Attack bonus is always against a 20 point distribution so it doesn't normally need to scale unless you really do want it to get more powerful as you level up.
