And it's clearly intended to give two primary attacks, and if you have Dex 15 and Spear etc., you can do one follow up attack per successful hit from one of the two primary attacks, so it's 4 attacks max if you are lucky. It's a good power, and definitely the best level 3 encounter power for spear fighters, yes, but on the other hand, spear fighters suffer a lot of draw backs. No special feats like Hammer Rhythm (overpowered!), no high crit (overpowered!), no brutal (overpowered!), and 1d10 max. The evidence why this power is not unbalanced is simple: Do you see all fighters (MC or not) go for a spear build and Dex 15 now to snatch this? No, because they can't afford Dex 15 and prefer a brutal high crit 1d12 axe or hammer. I would say we should all get over this and allow rain of blows as it was written. The boards and all those D&D theorists and DPR calculators don't see the bigger picture where Rain of Blows is just one option out of many that is good. No official errata and FAQ answer has been issued yet, so why should we bother.</blockquote>
