[QUOTE="DogBackward, post: 3393939, member: 50642"] JiCi Herzog is right, it takes a move action to call up the power, then you can take a standard action to attack with it. Herzog Yes, using Split Bolt, Energy/Force Wave, Energy/Force Shield and the like will still lower your Power rating. That's just so you can't have 10 bolts dealing 10d4 damage at level 20, and that sort of thing. I'm not entirely sure what you mean about AC improvements. If you mean that the class gets no automatic increase to AC, that's because they can both wear light armor, and because it's a ranged class. The Blade of Power, which I'm almost done with, will be a melee-based PrC for this, and will provide an AC bonus, since you won't be using range all the time. Anything that could modify a ranged weapon attack could affect your powerbolt. Check out the Weapon-like Spells section in Complete Arcane (just before the feat section) that should give you an idea of what you can do with that. I've had a few ideas for new powerbolt feats while making the Blade of Power, as well. I'll be putting them up when I do the Blade, too. [/QUOTE]
