[QUOTE="Shalimar, post: 4255924, member: 9600"] Lasting frost: Any target hit with a power of the cold descriptor gains Vulnerable Cold 5 until the end of your next turn. Perfect for a ranged rogue to get combat advantage for sneak attack. Get a frost shuriken, hit it the first turn, hopefully before it acts so you can sneak attack it, activating Wintertouched. Now the creature takes 5 extra damage from cold on top of the sneak attacked shuriken damage. Each round that it hits it renews the combat advantage and vulnerability to cold. As a magic thrown weapon the shuriken returns to your hand as a free action after each attack. Thats before you figure in the at will power, or daily like blinding barrage which hits close burst 3, if you had already used a cold area attack to give them vulnerability you could do major damage. Sly Flourish = W+CHA+Dex = 1D6+9 Sneak Attack = +3d6 at Paragon Cold Vulnerability = +5 Magical Weapon Bonus = +3 So 4d6+17 a round at range Yea, the pay off for Wintertouched isn't there until paragon tier, but you don't need the feat until then either, just retrain an earlier feat at the same level you get a paragon feat.
