[QUOTE="mneme, post: 5399286, member: 59248"] Actually, avengers can get the ability to apply a striker feature to their ranged attacks out of the box (by taking an appropriate feature--as out of the box as a slayer who chooses to take a high dex, since the Slayer doesn't get at-will attacks), and Monks -do- apply their striker feature to ranged attacks (though they need an edge that lets them apply at range like pointed step, the trigger is "when you hit with an attack on your turn", so if you can avoid or don't care about the OA, you can make a ranged attack while adjacent to some enemies, hit something at range, then flurry. The barbarian... Hmm. Strength primary, so they have decent heavy thrown attacks. They can use Feral Might on ranged attacks. Ok, they can't use Rampage on ranged attacks, and the average barbarian build is going to be lousy for ranged attacks -- but that's not because one of their striker features doesn't work for ranged attacks--it's because they don't really striker feature at all, so you tend to "bake in" a striker feature in the form of weapons, feats, the extra damage in their powers, and their rages.
