[QUOTE="MwaO, post: 7043196, member: 12749"] I'd do the following things to fix Slayer: Make a power called "Fighter's Strike" - it is a basic attack, usable with either Str or Dex. Dex only with specific weapons. Melee or Ranged. Fighter's Combat Challenge is modified to only work with Fighter's Strike. It is a 1w+stat. Slayers only gain Utility powers and Fighter's Strike. They do not gain other powers. Ever, even if they take Paragon Paths other than the Slayer's Paragon Path. They may spend a feat to gain either an encounter power or daily power. With specific weapons, they may use Dex for melee powers. They get Double Fighter's Strike as a class feature. They may make two Fighter's Strikes instead of one. It does not count as a basic attack when they do this. Paragon Path gives a 'Weapon Specialization' option. Use a particular weapon, gain kensai-like benefits. Done. Basically, they're similar to Rangers with Twin Strike, except they don't get the Daily or Encounter powers that Rangers do. They do get +stat twice to damage(ooh!) and can use a big weapon(double ooh!), but Quarry+encounter+daily powers is roughly equivalent. They're straightforward to run, they're optimizable with magic items, but limited in extent of optimization. They've basically got the complexity of a Champion Fighter in 5e. [/QUOTE]
