Grappling Stance  When you hit a target with a melee basic attack and have a free hand you grab that target. Punch Out - Replaces Power Strike  When you hit an enemy with a melee basic attack you may activate Punch Out as you would power strike. Effect:   Punch Out knocks the foe prone.  Level 17: Prone and Dazed until End  of Next Turn.  Level 27: Stunned until End of Next Turn. Special: Any target grabbed by you when you use Punch Out takes damage equal to your strength modifier. Weapon Specialisation: Haul  When  you use Power Strike, after the attack you may shift up to half your  speed and slide any grabbed foe an equal number of squares to end  adjacent to you.  This does not break the grab.The Arena SlayerMaster of All Arms - Replaces Weapon Talent    If  it’s a weapon an Arena Fighter can kill with it.  Arena Fighters are  proficient with all superior weapons and treat improvised one handed  weapons as +2/1d8, and improvised two handed weapons as +2/1d10.   Further an Arena Fighter gains a +1 feat bonus to damage per tier (+1  at 1st level, +2 at 11th level, +3 at 21st) for any melee weapon. Smashing Strike  When  an Arena Slayer uses Power Strike with an improvised weapon they may  choose to break that weapon, rendering it unusable for combat purposes  to do extra damage equal to their strength modifier. Weapon Specialisation: Impressive Blow  After  you use Power Strike with an exotic or improvised weapon the enemy  grants combat advantage until the end of your next turn and you gain a  +5 power bonus to your next intimidate roll before the end of your next  turn.  Out of combat you may use this power on inanimate objects for the  power bonus. Giant-killing stance  Effect:  You assume the giant killing stance.  Until the stance ends you gain a  +4 power bonus to damage rolls against foes of a size category larger  than you are and to saves against fear effects.  Level 11: +6.  Level  21: +8.  The Improvised Thief  An  Improvised Thief treats his fists and feet as +2/1d6 weapons, and  improvised weapons as either +2/1d6/Light Thrown (5/7) or +2/1d8 weapons  and he gains proficiency with ki focusses. Unarmed and Improvised  Weapons count as flails and qualify for Sneak Attack, Weapon Finesse,  and Thief Weapon Talent. Mighty Smash - replaces Backstab  You attack a distracted target with a mighty blow while he is unbalanced. Prerequisite: You must be using a weapon (not unarmed) and the target must grant combat advantage Effect:  You gain +2 power bonus to the attack roll and do extra damage equal to  backstab as normal. In addition the target grants combat advantage  until the end of your next turn, and you either break your weapon if  mundane or lose it on the floor in the enemy's square if magical. Destructive Trick  Your  attack manages to knock people off guard or cause unexpected damage to  the environment. The attack gains the Rattling Keyword.Notes   The damage is deliberately lower for the improvised thief than the  thief - +2/d6 < +3/d4 and +2/d8 < +3/d6, and there's no  rapier-equivalent. On the other hand it has versatility. Likewise the Arena Slayer - it starts off as a tradeoff of +1 to hit for about +2 damage - but the damage will be caught up with leading to +1 to hit with all proficient weapons vs a greater range of unused proficiencies and better with improvised weapons when you need them (both rarely useful) and some spare feats not spent on effective feat taxes.</blockquote>
