So I have the Martial Powers book.

[Rechan]

So, what gives?

Classes are different. Just like how Swordmage powers give bonuses depending on which kind of Aegis (mark) power you chose, rather than what stat you're using.

I have the feeling the Barbarian is going to be Str primary, Con/Cha secondary, given that Con is doing all the secondary effects.

Also, if you note, the "Caster" types (Wis Cleric, Warlock, Paladin, Wizard, Swordmage, Artificer, Bard) have the attack-stat as their primary, and the secondary designates their build. It may be something specific to Divine/Arcane casters. The only outliers to this theory are the Starpact Warlock (who bounces between Cha and Con as the attack stat), and the Ranger.

One thing I noticed is that Tieflings got a lot of love in this book. They are the only race that got a unique Paragon Path exclusive to themselves for each class. No other race got more than two. They also have a truly sick Fighter feat(Infernal Wrath lasts until the enemy is no longer marked by you).

Is there anything connected to elven rogues? (Paragon Path or feat)

No Paragon Path, unfortunately. Elves get a unique Ranger Paragon, but thats it. Racial Paragons for Rogues go to Drow, Halflings, and Tieflings. Feats include:

Heroic: Sneaky Accuracy--If you use Elven Accuracy on an attack that would have dealt Sneak Attack damage and miss with the second roll, you do not expend Elven Accuracy

Paragon: Prime Slayer--If none of your allies are closer to the target than you are, you gain +2 damage on ranged attacks.


Sneaky Accuracy is really good.

Do any of the fighter powers actually have benefits if you're using a Quarterstaff as a weapon?

No.

Is the Bravura Warlord focusing on Cha, or Int?

The Resourceful Warlord flips between Int and Cha, yes?

Bravura Warlord is based on Cha, and the Resourceful Warlord uses both Int and Cha, sometimes at the same time.

It involves multiple manifestations, manipulating them and sharing them with your allies(even the encounter power), and using your elemental resistances as a defensive and offensive weapon.

Drow Rogue Paragon is called Dread Fang. When you spend an action point to attack, you can apply sneak attack, even if you have already done so. Their encounter power is a two weapon attack with a light weapon in one hand a a hand crossbow in the other, and the daily poisons. Its not terribly impressive overall.

I don't think elven rogues have to think twice about which feat to take when this is available.

Can't see elven rogues not having a reaon to take this. But I can't see the in game effect being all that broken, basically gives Elven Accuracy the reliable descriptor, and you have to miss twice to get the benfit.

Indeed. And it appears as if this book might come out just the right moment - there is a level with a feat coming up in one of our campaigns (that has an Elven Rogue)
