Just as a reminder Adam of http://twitter.com/blindgeekuk fame is posting what FridayFeats he can collect, before Twitter archive loses those, on http://www.leedsdnd.co.uk/.
Strategic Leader
Prerequisites: Hobgoblin
As a minor action you may grant surprise of all enemies to all allies, if you succeed in surprising any of your enemies.
Comments: I like Hobgoblins as generals of goblinoid armies and have always felt they were a little short changed on the way of showing how good they are with tactics. I feel since this will only be available to hobgoblins and the racial power was a little too little, that this would not be too much. I considered making it available only Hobgoblin leaders, but that seemed overly restrictive. Additionally Surprise is only available right before the first turn and the Hobgoblin must have surprise against the enemy to grant it to the others, it doesn't seem overpowered, from what I have experienced.
Early Bloomer
Prerequisites: Human
The bonus power you select as your racial feature gains a +1 attack and +2 damage.
Comments: I wrote this one in a vague kind of way because I want Half-elves to be able to take advantage of it also.
Follow The Leader
Prerequisites: Leader
You attack and hit an enemy, each subsequent ally's attacks gains +1 attack, until an enemy hits with an attack or end of your next turn.
Comments: I really want to give a benefit other than just knocking down the monster faster for the characters to gang up on one creature at a time. I also wanted to reinforce the fact that the leader in general is the one who is suppose to be guiding combat, either because of their their combat knowledge, intuition, god or primal spirit leads them to attack the appropriate target.
Get Back
Skill training required: Acrobatics
Encounter
Action: Immediate Interrupt
Trigger: Ally is hit by an attack
Range: Your Speed
You move to your ally's square and slide the ally 1 square, you take the damage meant for them.
Comments: This just seemed like something a heroic character should be able to do at least once per encounter. Now that I have fully expanded this out, I modified it, because it seems more like a skill utility power, instead of an feat.
MisterArcane said over on Wizard's forums:
ReplyDeleteWell.. you might want to grammar check this a bit, to wordings a bit weird on some of them.... Here's what I'd suggest instead:
Strategic Leader
Prerequisites: Hobgoblin
During a surprise round, you may spend a minor action to cause any enemies whom you have surprised to also be surprised by any of your allies within 50 squares.
Wording confused me on yours.. and I figured it needed a range limit otherwise odd things start happening. The feat is overall kinda weak, but it can be handy for parties that try for that supprise round a lot.
Early Bloomer
Prerequisites: Human, Level 11
The bonus power you select as your racial feature gains a +1 attack and +2 damage for one of it's attacks per round, you must declare which attack gets this bonus before making it.
OR
Prerequisites: Human
The bonus power you select as your racial feature gains a +2 to damage
+1 to attack is powerful to have on your main attack, especially in heroic when you rely on at-wills more... Either limit it or reduce it's power.
Follow The Leader
Prerequisites: Leader
When you attack and hit a single enemy with an encounter or daily power all allies gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls against that target, until the end of your next turn.
OR
When you attack and hit an enemy with an at-will power, the next ally to attack that target gains +1 bonus to their first attack roll.
Again + to hit is powerful stuff.. be careful giving it out too cheaply.. even so these are still powerful feats and I'm tempted to scale them back more.
Get Back
Skill training required: Acrobatics
Encounter
Action: Immediate Interrupt
Trigger: An Ally within range of this power is hit by a Melee or ranged attack.
Range: Your Speed
You slide the ally 1 square and move into the square they occupied, you take the damage from the triggering attack.
Slide before you move so you don't both occupy the same square, fixed the wording a bit to match conventions. I'm tempted to actually replace 'move' with 'shift' so it doesn't provoke OAs... but that depends on what level this utility power is as to if it needs that buff. Oh yeah.. you didn't say what level this utility power is.
