It’s time for the first of my game ideas a day.  An this one is a long time coming.  Everyone thinks that 4th is too much like World of Warcraft, but I think it’s not enough.  Therefore here is my first power for the ranger.

Deadly Distraction

Your beast companion attacks your foe and provides an opening for your allies.

Level 1 At-Will

Keywords: beast, martial

Action: standard

Range: beast 1

Target: One creature adjacent to your beast

Attack: Beast’s attack bonus vs. AC

Hit: 1[B] + beast’s strength modifier.  At 21st level, 2[B] + beast’s strength modifier

Effect: target is marked by your beast till the end of your next turn.

Why?  Well I’ve always felt that the ranger in DnD 4th should play like the Hunter in World of Warcraft.  I’m not getting into the debate of if that’s good or not, but I like the idea of being able to draw attacks with my pet.  More on this theme to come over time
