I'll edit this post as I go.Barbarian Stuff Barbarian - Berserker - Martial and Primal Defender and Striker. Str primary Dex secondary. Defender Aura, defensive bonuses, a retribution power of "Vengeful Guardian" that puts more oomph on your MBA, and a 'Berserker Fury' that can be entered that will activate riders on some new attack powers. Poised Defender - Untyped +2 to AC when Defensive Aura is active and not in heavy armor.Berzerker defender mechanic: The Vengeful Guardian works like the Knight, but does a 1d8 damage on the MBA. After level 21 the Berzerker does half-damage on a miss. Berzerker striker mechanic.Berserker FuryWhen you use a barbarian primal attack power, you enter your Berserker Fury until the end of the encounter. Alternatively, you can use a minor action while you are bloodied to enter the fury. The fury has the following effects. * Your defender aura ends, if it was active, and you cannot use defender aura or vengeful guardian until the fury ends. * Some of your powers, such as your barbarian martial at-will attack powers, gain additional benefits, as noted in those powers. * Your  melee basic attacks deal 1d8 extra damage. This extra damage increases to 2d8 at 11th level and 3d8 at 21st level. Berserkers have a "Heartland" class feature, in which they get 1st and  4th level benefits based on an area that they've learned to fight in  (they get these benefits no matter where they are.  Arid Desert - AC and Ref bonuses in cloth, no armor, and without a shield. Tier-scaling fire resistance later.  Frozen Land - Fort and Will bonuses. Tier-scaling cold resistance later.  Temperate Land - Go one-handed weapon and shield to get +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon. +1 speed to charging later.Stalk and Strike | Barbarian Attack 1At-Will * Martial, WeaponStandard Action     Melee weaponEffect: You shift 2 squares before the attack.Target: One creatureAttack: Strength vs ACHit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage. Level 21: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage. Berserker Fury: This attack gains the primal keyword and deals 1d8 extra damage.  Level 11: 2d8 extra damage.  Level 21: 3d8 extra damage.Level 1 Dailies:Life-Ending Strike (Primal): Melee weapon; one creature; Str vs AC; Hits for 4[W] + Str mod; half damage on a miss; can be used in place of a MBA on a charge.Sweeping Cut (Martial): Close burst 1; each enemy you can see in the burst; Str vs AC; 2[W] + Str mod damage and knocks the target prone; half damage on a miss.The level 9 ones are a little more distinct: both are single target and do half damage on a miss; the primal one does 1[W] higher damage, and pushes and prones the target as an effect; the martial one has the effect of increasing the defender aura radius and allowing the barbarian to shift one before making a Vengeful Guardian attack. 39 freely poachable class powers evenly split between Martial and Primal. Bard StuffBard - Skald - Arcane and Martial Leader, Cha-MBA's with one-handed  weapons, a 'spellbook' mechanic for daily attack powers, Song of  Rest, Skill Versatility, Words of Friendship. 4 at-will attack powers that affect Skald's Aura, seem to be poachableCha primary, Int secondary (but few powers have int riders)Skald's Aura | Bard UtilityEncouter * Aura, Healing, MartialMinor Action PersonalEffect: You activate an aura 5 that lasts until the end of the encounter. If the aura ends prematurely for any reason, you can reactivate it during the encounter as a minor action.Twice per encounter but only once per turn, you or any ally in the aura can use a minor action to spend a healing suge and regain 1d6 additional hit points. Alternatively, you or any ally can use a minor action to allow an adjacent ally to spend a healing surge and regain the additional hit points.(It's innovative design stuff like this that makes me LOVE THIS BOOK.)Level 6: 2d6 additional hit points.Level 11: 3d6 additional hit points.Level 16: 4d6 additional hit points, and the healing can be used 3 times per encounter.Level 21: 5d6 additional hit points, and the healing can be used 3 times per encounter.Level 26: 6d6 additional hit points, and the healing can be used 3 times per encounter.Book of StoriesYou gain two 1st-level bard daily attack powers of you choice, but each day you can use only one bard daily attack power.When you gain a bard daily attack power at 5th level, you can use two bard daily attack powers per day, but no more than one of a particular level. Similarly, after you gain a bard daily attack power at 9th level, you can use three bard daily attack powers per day, but still no more than one of a particular level.At level 15, 19, 25, and 29, you gain a bard daily attack power of your level or lower without having to replace a power, but the number that you can use per day remains at three.Powers Bolstering Speech | Bard Attack 1You offer up a story that inspires and reinforces the morale of your allies, urging them to fight past their pain.At-Will * MartialMinor Action     PersonalEffect: Until the end of the encounter or until you use another bard  at-will attack power, your skald's aura gains the following effect: EAch  time you hit an enemy with a basic attack, one of your allies in the  aura gains temporary hit points equal to your Charisma modifier.Song of Savagery | Bard Attack 1 At-Will * Martial Minor Action     Personal Effect: Until the end of the encounter or until you use another bard  at-will attack power, your skald's aura gains the following effect: Each  time you hit an enemy with a basic attack, one of your allies in the  aura gains a +4 power bonus to his or her next damage roll before the  end of your next turn.Alter Fate | Bard Attack 7Encounter * ArcaneImmediate Reaction     Ranged 10Trigger: An enemy within 10 squares of you is hit by your ally's attack.Target: The triggering enemyEffect: The target takes 1d12 extra damage from the attack.True Urge to Victory | Bard Attack 23Encounter * ArcaneImmediate Reaction     Ranged 10Trigger: An ally within 10 squares of you ends his or her turn without having attacked.Target: The triggering allyEffect:  The target can either make a basic attack or charge an enemy as a free  action, even if the target is dominated or stunned. If the attack hits,  it deals 3d10 extra damage. 45 freely pickable powers for other bards. There are no Skald-specific encounter powers encorporating the aura. A significant number of powers are non-attacking interrupts or reactions, however. The most common triggers are an ally hitting an enemy or being hit by one. Some very very nice options for ability-independent multiclassing, or Lazylords in particular. Druid stuffDruid - Protector - Primal Controller, uses of Summon Natural Ally instead of Daily attack powers, no wild shape or Ritual Casting, choose a 'school' to gain either the defensive bonuses or speed bonuses like Primal Guardian/Predator, three nature-themed cantripsNature's Growth an encounter power useable as a minor action that creates a zone of  difficult terrain for all creatures but you, zone size scales with tier.   The zone lasts until the end of the encounter to boot!  Guardians buff  healing to allies in or adjacent to the zone, and Predators make the  zone ally-friendly (difficult terrain only affects enemies).  Summon Nature's Ally power: It takes the place of daily powers, with increased uses at level 5 and  9. Primal Predators choose from one list of summons, with more options  available as they level up, and Primal Guardians choose from another. SNA takes a standard action to summon and unlike normal Druid summons, you do not immediately make the standard action attack.  However, as far as I can tell the summons do get to use their instinctive actions on the turn you summon them so it's basically a wash.  Pretty  much all of the instinctive actions are standardized to "attack  adjacent enemy if you can, otherwise move adjacent."  This is  unfortunate, as there is nothing like Summon Giant Toad that can  reliably attack from a distance.  This is going to make summons with  movement-denying control effects much more valuable (the Primal Predator  SNA options have an advantage here, since there's one that prones at  every level).    Predators:  Level 1: Grizzly Bear or Pack Wolf  Level 15: Dire Bear or Hunting Tiger  Level 29: Dire Lion or Raptor Behemoth  Guardians:  Level 1: Giant Cobra or Desert Hawk  Level 15: Bulette or Venomous Scorpion  Level 29: Blue Dragon Wyrmling or Desert RocSummon Natural Ally (Primal Predator) Level 1:  Grizzly BearStandard "uses your defenses", HP=bloodied, etc.Speed 6Standard Action (at-will)Attack:  Melee 1 (one creature) your level +5 vs ReflexHit:   2D8+your Wis mod damage, and the target is grabbed if the bear has no  creatures grabbed.  The grab lasts until the end of your next turn.Sustain minor:  The grab persists until the end of your next turn.Minor:  Walk, shift, run, stand up, squeeze, or crawl.Instinctive:   Sustains grab if it's grabbing, attacks adjacent enemy if it's not  grabbing, moves its speed adjacent to enemy if it can't do the above.  Powers41 freely selectable class powers for druids.CantripVine Rope | Druid Utility At-Will * Primal Minor Action     Personal Effect: You draw a vine from the ground that is up to 50 feet in  length. The vine functions as a silk rope and lasts until the end of the  encounter or until you use this power again. You can cause the vine to  vanish as a minor action.Wind Wall | Druid Attack 3Encounter (Implement, Primal, Zone)Standard ActionArea Wall 8 within 10 squaresTarget:  Each enemy in the wallAttack:  Wisdom vs FortitudeHit:  2D6+Wis mod damage, and you can slide the target 1 square.Effect:   The wall creates a zone that lasts UEoYNT.  The zone grants superior  cover against ranged attacks made through it that target AC or Reflex.Swarm of Scarabs | Druid Attack 7Encounter * Implement, Primal, ZoneStandard Action     Close blast 5Target: Each creature in the blastAttack: Wisdom vs ReflexHit: 2d6 + Wisdom modifier damageEffect: The burst creatures a zone that lasts until the end of your next turn. Creatures grant combat advantage while in the zone. Any creature that ends is turn int he zone takes damage equal to your Constitution or Dexterity modifier.Charm Beast  | Druid Attack 7Encounter (Charm, Implement, Primal)Standard Action Ranged 5Target:  1 creatureAttack:  Wisdom vs Will.  You gain a +2 bonus to the attack roll when using this power against a beast.Hit:  The target is dominated UEoYNT.Miss:  The target is dazed UEoYNT.Grasp of Winter | Druid Attack 7Encounter (Cold, Implement, Primal)Standard ActionRanged 10Target:  1 creatureAttack:  Wisdom vs ReflexHit:  2D8+Wis mod cold damageEffect:  The target is restrained until the end of your next turn.Based on my first scan-through, Druids got a nice boost.  They have a LOT of encounter powers that damage on a hit but control with an effect.  They also get some neat encounter walls in Heroic tier, and an at-will that is similar to the Invoker's Hand of Radiance but with some actual control tacked on.  Witch StuffWizard - Witch - Arcane Controller, Witch's Familiar, daily utility power that allows you to get limited information about what is going to occur in the future, Cantrips, choice of Coven that determines 1st level encounter attack power and grants skill bonusesAt-WillWitch Bolt | Wizard Attack 1You hurl a bolt of crackling energy, forming a line of lightning between you and your foe.At-Will * Arcane, Evocation, Implement, LightningStandard Action     Ranged 5Target: One creatureAttack: Intelligence vs ReflexHit: 1d10 + Intelligence modifier lightning damage. Level 21: 2d10 + Intelligence modifier lightning damage.Sustain Standard: Reroll the damage and deal it to the target again.

Sidhe LordIntroductory power grants you a daily power to summon a "Sidhe House Guard", a medium creature that follows most summoned creature rules, but lacks any instinctive actions.
