I liked the feats that gave you a splash of another class’ powers in Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition.  There are powers for the caster classes (wizard, cleric, et al).  How about some for our martial friends?  How about the fighter?

I have some barbarians with some massive constitutions out there who will fail three death saving throws while the asthmatic wizard pops up like toast whenever he gets hit because he’s insanely lucky with a d20.  Let’s help those barbarians out there…

  • Gain +1 to strength to a maximum of 20
  • You may wield a two-handed weapon one handed and gain the benefit of the two-handed grip for qualities like versatile and general use of the weapon.  If you wield two two-handed weapons, the off-hand attack normally does not add your strength or dexterity to damage.

Knowledge is Power

You’ve learned through experience or books what you need to do when.

Benefit: When you encounter a creature, you may make a knowledge check using the appropriate skill with DC equal to 10+creature CR.  If you succeed, you gain a +1 to either attack, saves, or defense against the creature.  These bonuses may be separated however you choose among attack, defense, and saves.  The bonus gains by this power increases by +1 for every 5 you succeed by.
