New options for fighters, rangers, rogues, and warlords.
Martial Power is the first of a line of player-friendly supplements offering hundreds of new options for D&D characters. This tome focuses on the martial heroes: characters that rely on their combat talents and keen wits for survival.
This book provides new archetypal builds for the fighter, ranger, rogue, and warlord classes, including new character powers, feats, paragon paths, and epic destinies.
The Introduction begins by discussing the true tools of a warrior: not so much his weapons and armour, but his skills and techniques. The best fighters may even be know for a particular style or manoeuvre that has become a trademark. This book is laid out so as to help you to develop such a character, one tailored to the style you wish him to have. Each of the martial character classes - fighter, ranger, rogue, and warlord - has a chapter dedicated to honing characters of that class, and the book rounds out with a massive listing of new feats which may be used to good effect. While some players may take the opportunity to build a new character from the bottom up using these resources, allowance has also been made for those who wish to revise existing martial characters in the light of what is written here.
Each class receives a chapter to itself with new builds, class features, powers and paragon paths to choose from; and a final chapter presents a wide range of feats, including multiclass ones should you wish to add martial prowess to a non-fighting character, or mix skills from more than one type of warrior.
Overall, this book brings a whole raft of new options to develop characters in precisely the direction that you intend, or perhaps to suggest new option that might not have occurred to you. Never say 'Oh, he is just a fighter' again, with this work you can customise heroes about whom legends will be written.
