ways to increase Immediate Reactions?

[fireinthedust]

I'm building a teleporting Swordmage, but the big hurdle to him going insane every round is that limit on immediate reactions each round. While this could be a good thing for munchy PCs, there are instances where it can be a pain having such a limit.

Are there any ways to increase Immediate Reactions by even one per round? Or just Immediate actions in general? Any builds or items or powers, even if it's not applicable to a swordmage eladrin, would be appreciated.

Not as far as I'm aware, no. The limit to immediate actions is pretty hard and fast, and for good reason.

I'm not aware of any way to get more than one immediate action. Like you said, it's the biggest limiting factor on your build.

 

[fireinthedust]

yeah.

Two things:

1) I can think of this build, sure, but I don't know that it'd be too broken to add one or two immediate actions to builds in general. Genasi powers like Firepulse notwithstanding, I can't think of that many options that really play on immediate reactions off hand.

2) Would a circlet or head slot item be the best place for something like this? Like parchment armor, there are charges per plus that can be used each encounter to grant one additional immediate reaction per plus. Or a circlet that just grants one additional immediate reaction per turn as a constant property. I'm guessing they'd be upper paragon tier items, if not epic.

More immediate actions would break a number of builds. Fighters getting multiple combat challenges, swordmage aegis multiple times a round, and, god forbid, White Lotus Riposte.

Edit: err, that's white lotus MASTER riposte.

It would also turn something like Darkspiral Aura into a minion clearer.

Ssshhhh!!! My DM will be coming to kill you, making suggestions like that.

As a test, we played paragon tier characters on Sunday, and my Immediate action-happy Ranger drove him completely batshit crazy. (Note to my DM, who might read this: Yes, I am admitting that you were not already batshit crazy.)
