Really this is an experiment to test the viability of a social power source class - does the idea make sense? is it playable? is it possible to run with the idea enough to fill in powers for 30 levels?The idea behind a striker is that it can bypass multiple foes to take out a single high-powered target...Rangers use guerilla tactics, striking and retreatingRogues tumble amongst their enemies, avoiding blows to make a sneak attackWarlocks use ranged attacks and become invisible/teleportCourtesans walk among enemies unmolested, turning them on each otherCourtesan's MarkEncounter * Minor ActionDesignate a target within your line of site as your mark. Once per round you may attempt to manipulate your mark on a successufl Charisma vs. Will check. If successful, choose one of these effects:* Pull mark towards you a number of squares equal to your Intelligence modifier* Target must make a Will vs. Charisma check to attack you, including using area of effect powers which target youSustain (Minor)* Mark allows you to pass by, not taking any attacks of opportunity against you.Additionally, your mark will also act to defend you when adjacent to you, the extent depending on your level.Level____________Adjacency effect (cumulative)1st-10th_________When adjacent to you, mark provides you with +2 AC against all opportunity attacks11th-20th________When adjacent to you, mark interposes itself between you and other enemies; any attack on you has 50% of hitting your mark21st-30th________When adjacent to you, mark provides you with flanking benefits against other enemiesYou may only designate one target as your mark at any time.Courtesan's TacticsI changed 3 aspects of Bluff rules with this feature - perhaps too many?1. Bluff (feint) is a standard action --> I made it minor action2. Feint one adjacent enemy --> I made it feint multiple adjacent foes3. Feint once per encounter --> I made it feint multiple times per encounterI need to decide which of these to sacrifice in order to balance it so courtesans don't get CA on every attack.Enemy WithinMaybe I'll change this to just trade the +2 of CA to avoid OA from feinted foe, and cut the part where "the enemy doesn't attack you".Good catch. sorry to disappoint <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
