Student of Battle (multiclass feat)

It states that you get one use of the Warlord's "Inspiring Word" power. Do I get the bonus dice to heal depending on my level?

Yes, the only caveat is that you can use it once per day.

 

[Xyrlove Woodsoul]

I see. Thanks. Yeah, only once a day is a bit weak. I do have Mark of Healing though, but I guess it's still a bit weak. I think I'll take Action Surge instead. They may as well have made Action Surge the Human bonus Feat. I don't mind the game having "must haves" when it comes to racials.

Action surge is nice, but not nearly a must have depending on the build (a wizard with flaming sphere can as well take a different feat, as well as any PC having dailies with effects)

 

[Xyrlove Woodsoul]

That much is true. But it's "the worst," sometimes, that is, missing with a big power when you need it. Or, more goodness, that is, if you can target mutiple enemies. I'm not a hell-bent optimizer or anything, but Action Surge is rated blue to gold 90% of the time. That said, with the right build, it isn't necessary, but it's a good default selection, or a stop-gap until the player may perhaps think of something better to take later on retraining it. I do think it's a bit over-hyped. But a group of humans can really nova with it.

There is no doubting its a fantastic feat, but consider this.

Our party has a human rogue dagger fighter (yes, an actual rogue, not just an MC into dagger master!) and his accuracy is really good. When it comes to those situations where he has CA (artful dodger, he has no problem flanking) for another +2, he rarely misses.

Point is, most of the time, what he needs to roll to hit is really low, and action surge becomes overkill. He is actually contemplating re-training it out.

It sounded great on paper, but his build doesnt really need it.
