Vote up a power (power complete!)

[Glooble Glistencrist]

Welcome to the least ambitious voting thread on the boards (that I can think of.) This thread aims to produce a single power, for an existing class. The idea is to do a massive amount of work for almost no payoff. It will probably be pretty lame.

The first vote is for what class will get the power. I am limiting this to 4e classes that have been officially released by Wizards of the Coast (as in, not only in online previews.) Voting ends at midnight tonight, unless I decide to
go to bed early, in which case it ends whenever I wake up tomorrow morning.

It's done. Tell me what you think!

[Emperor Demonking]

* Wizard*

[KKL]

Paladin needs more love.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

No one's voting, so I'm extending the deadline. How long? Who knows.

[Limos]

Spellscarred!

I don't know what that is, but it sounds more awesome than any of the others.

EDIT: See that? I could have broken the tie, I could have chosen. But no! I chose to make it a three way tie! Tremble at my voting! For I have doomed you to an eternal purgatory of nonvote!

[Shades of Gray]

Voting up a singe power is kinda pointless.

I'd prefer "vote up a build type"

e.g. War wizard, Brawny Rogue, Assault Swordmage, et cetera.

Votes being:

1) Class (Rogue, Wizard, etc.)

2) Base Ability Score (Dex, Con, Int, should be different than main. No dex for rogues)

3) Coherent theme (Knockback, Shifting, hitting multiple targets, etc.)

4) Flavour.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

I realize it's pointless. That's kind of why I'm doing it.

[Shades of Gray]

Very well then... Spellscarred.

[Alteran]

I shall go with swordmage.

[Reath]

Paladin, for great justice.

[Vic_Sage]

Paladin, specfically Strength, not enough love for the Strength Pally.

[Zeta Kai]

Oh, let's say Paladin.

[Reverent-One]

Artificer!

...What do you mean that's not allowed?


In that case, Paladin. BTW, what's a spellscarred? From the Forgetten Realms guide, I take it?

[Alteran]

It is a multiclass-only class from the Forgotten Realms guide. It's a bit odd, since it can't be your base class. I've never tried it myself, so I don't know how it works out.

[Grey Watcher]

Paladin, for great justice.

Thanks solely to this quote, I, too, vote for Paladin.

[Ethrael]

Ranger! To make up for the lack of druids!

[Mando Knight]

Paladin! Needed more letters!

[Mercenary Pen]

Swordmage, because I'm playing one.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

Votes are tallied. This phase will close and the next open around 6 tonight (EST, United States. That's midnight for you Brits online. :smallsmile:

[Glooble Glistencrist]

So it looks like we're going for a Paladin power. The next vote is for what type of power it will be. It will close Friday at midnight (again, EST.) Vote for 1:

[Mercenary Pen]

What about At-Will Utilities? Because some classes have them (p66 PHB for an example).

[Reverent-One]

Daily, let's go wild on this sucker.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

What about At-Will Utilities? Because some classes have them (p66 PHB for an example).

Didn't know about those. Added.

[Crabs Magee]

What about At-Will Utilities? Because some classes have them (p66 PHB for an example).

I go with this. Make it interesting.

[mikeejimbo]

I could break a tie here!

Or I could tie up another one!

Encounter Utility!

[KKL]

Why not At-Will Utility.

[Ethrael]

Daily for me too: let's make it a good one!

[Mercenary Pen]

Definitely Utility(At Will) for me.

[Emperor Demonking]

Utility At-Will.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

Votes are tallied, and the winner is At-will Utility. Fortunately, Martial Power has a whole bunch of those for me to look at as models.

So onto what will either be the last or second to last vote:

Level

[Mercenary Pen]

Level 16 please.

[Crabs Magee]

Level 10. Former two are too low, latter two are too high

[Vadin]

Level 10

WOOO!

[mikeejimbo]

I was going for Level 16.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

Votes Tallied.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

Bump so someone can break this tie.

[Mercenary Pen]

Okay, change my vote from level 16 to level 10.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

Ok. Looks like I'm making a Level 10 At-will Paladin utility power. Should be done soon.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

Radiant Rejuvenation
Paladin Utility 10
On a particularly powerful strike, your sword glows with Holy Power. Your injured comrades, seeing this, are granted the strength to fight on.
At-will, Divine, Radiant
Immediate reaction
Ranged 10
Trigger: You score a critical hit with a power with the radiant keyword.
Effect: All bloodied allies in range that can see you can spend a healing surge.

[Shadow_Elf]

Its hard to judge this... I don't believe there's precedence for an at-will utility that is not well... utile? (feel free to prove me wrong here) This is a combat-based at-will utility, so its hard to judge. My gut instinct, however, is overpowered. However, the fact that it has to be a radiant power and the allies have to be bloodied sort of limits it...

In other words, I have no idea if this is too powerful or not useful enough :smallannoyed:...

[Glooble Glistencrist]

That's kinda how I felt about it. I added the bloodied because it seemed to powerful without it.

[Meek]

It definitely cannot be an At Will.

Otherwise it is fine as an encounter ability. The wording could use some work. Let me see...

Radiant Rejuvenation Paladin Utility 10
On a particularly powerful strike, your sword glows with Holy Power. Your injured comrades, seeing this, are granted the strength to fight on.
Encounter, Divine, Healing
Immediate Reaction Close Burst 10
Trigger: You score a critical hit with a power with the radiant keyword.
Effect: All bloodied allies in burst that can see you can spend a healing surge.

Ranged was wonky with the power, Close Burst illustrates the range far better, At Will is too much for a power like this (utility powers that are at-will are things like the Rogue's personal range skill boosters).

[Mando Knight]

How about instead of "spend a healing surge," you use "recover a number of hit points equal to your Wisdom Modifier"?

[Glooble Glistencrist]

I was thinking temporary hitpoints, but then it just seemed like what was the point?

Maybe if it's just all allies that can see you gain temporary hit points equal to your charisma modifier. Just so it's a viable at-will.

if not - I tried.

[Meek]

Temporary hit points do indeed qualify it for an at-will utility. Here you go!

Radiant Rejuvenation Paladin Utility 10
On a particularly powerful strike, your sword glows with Holy Power. Your injured comrades, seeing this, are granted the strength to fight on.
At Will, Divine
Immediate Reaction Close Burst 10
Trigger: You score a critical hit with a power with the radiant keyword.
Effect: All bloodied allies in burst that can see you gain 5 + your Wisdom modifier temporary hit points.

EDIT: Made it 5 instead of 3. I think the conditions and the restrictions make it possible.

[Glooble Glistencrist]

I''m good with that.
