[QUOTE="JohnSnow, post: 4310906, member: 32164"] Well, "Rapid Shot" should, rightly speaking, be a power under the new system. And it is. The ranger gets three versions of it at level one. [SIZE=3][B]Twin Strike[/B][/SIZE] [B]At-Will • Martial, Weapon Standard Action[/B] [B]Targets:[/B] One or two creatures [B]Attack:[/B] Dexterity vs. AC, two attacks [B]Hit:[/B] 1[W] damage per attack. [B][SIZE=3]Two Fanged Strike[/SIZE][/B] [B]Encounter • Martial, Weapon Standard Action[/B] [B]Targets:[/B] One creature [B]Attack:[/B] Dexterity vs. AC, two attacks [B]Hit: [/B]1[W] + Dexterity modifier damage per attack. If both attacks hit, you deal extra damage equal to your Wisdom modifier. [SIZE=3][B]Split the Tree[/B][/SIZE] [B]Daily • Martial, Weapon Standard Action[/B] [B]Targets:[/B] Two creatures within 3 squares of each other. [B]Attack: [/B]Dexterity vs. AC. Make two attack rolls, take the higher result, and apply it to both targets. [B]Hit:[/B] 2[W] + Dexterity modifier damage. That said, I'm pretty sure there's room for Stone Rain as a Rogue Encounter power. Your first cut was pretty good. I just took out the scaling, reformatted it and renamed it. [SIZE=3][B]Rain of Shots[/B][/SIZE] Rogue Attack 3 [B]Encounter • Martial, Weapon Standard Action Ranged[/B] Weapon [b]Special:[/b] You must be wielding a light thrown weapon or a sling. [B]Targets:[/B] One to three creatures. [B]Attack: [/B]Dexterity - 2 vs. AC, three attacks. [B]Hit:[/B] 1[W] + Dexterity modifier damage per attack. I think that's even balanced. Or almost. It doesn't seem to me to be as powerful as Cloud of Steel (a Rogue 7 Encounter Exploit), and there's absolutely no reason it shouldn't work with sneak attack. On the other hand, by way of comparison, the ranger has an encounter exploit called "Triple Shot." It's got all the same features: Dexterity vs. AC, three attacks, 1[W] + dexterity modifier per attack... It's 17th-level. Ouch. On the other hand, the ranger doesn't take the attack penalty. But maybe it would make sense to cut the damage to 1[W] per attack? I dunno. Food for thought. [/QUOTE]
