I like these in general. I'm a bit tired and was quite confused by 'Paladin Sprayers'.

However, the paladin one would work better as a channel divinity thing. And, though evil or shadow worshiping paladins should have a way to do necrotic damage, I feel like the better solution would be to simply switch all their radiant damage to necrotic and be done with it. Once per encounter switch your holy ju-ju just kindof rubs me the wrong way.

I like arm twist, but dex seems a strange choice. The power feels more brutish than finesse-full. Con might be a better choice. Either that or change the wording to make it seem a bit more martial arts and a bit less brute power. Purely meta - but as written this makes brutal scoundrels better with this feat than fighters. That's fine if that's what you want, I would just make sure to make the flavor a bit clearer.

The idea behind pyromancer is good, but as far as 'fire mage' flavor goes I prefer a feat I saw on the boards a while ago. Something to the effect of: 'choose an encounter or daily power that you know that does damage, it now does fire damage instead of whatever damage keywords it had before' (roughly).


All neat ideas, but the only one that I would personally pick up would be arm twist.
