Message: <blockquote data-quote="Grimgrin" data-source="post: 4547037" data-attributes="member: 78830">GrenadierThe sound of a kiss ain’t so loud as a cannon, but its echo lasts a great deal longer. Prerequisites: Fighter ClassThe grenadier is practiced in the use of high explosives, cannons, and alchemical weaponry. Your great strength is an asset in carrying heavy munitions loads, firing hand cannons, and smashing enemies that get too close. Your second most important attribute is intelligence since firing cannons, crafting explosives, and measuring gunpowder requires a high degree of technical competence. Your class often pairs heavy weapons with heavy armor. You are often used to plow through enemy lines, storm fortified positions, or provide artillery support.  Grenadier Path FeaturesLoose Cannon (11th Level): You can use a "hand cannon" as two handed weapon without the normal "inaccuracy" penalty (-2 to attack).Powder Drill (11th Level): You do the work of two men rather than one when loading a cannon.Bombastic Power (16th Level): Add your Strength Modifier as a damage bonus when firing cannons or throwing alchemical grenades (minimum of +1 to damage). Grenadier ExploitsCannonball Toss Grenadier Attack 11You have developed brawny arms by catching and tossing cannon balls. You can hurl any thrown weapon with massive force.________________________Encounter * Martial Standard Action Ranged weaponRequirements: Any thrown weapon.

Destroying the target will rain debris on the surrounding area.________________________Daily * MartialStandard Action Requirements: Must be armed with a hand cannonTarget: One creatureAttack: Strength vs. AC________________________Hit: 4[W] + Intelligence ModifierEffect: If you reduce the target to 0 or fewer hit points you can make a secondary attack.Secondary Target: All creatures adjacent to the primary targetSecondary Attack: Intelligence vs. ReflexSecondary Hit: 1d6 + Intelligence Modifier damage from cannonball shrapnel.   NEW FEAT:Cannon Bearer [Fighter] Prerequisite: Fighter, Weapon Focus (Artillery)Benefit: Your hand cannon is no longer an improvised melee weapon, but instead is the equivalent of a "Maul" martial weapon. Any feats, powers, or class abilities applicable to a maul can now be applied to your hand cannon when using it as a melee weapon.</blockquote>
