Fighting Styles

The rules for the official Archery and Two Weapon fighting styles have been included below.

Archery Fighting Style

Because of your focus on ranged attacks, you gain Defensive Mobility as a bonus feat.

Note: Core fighting style from the Player's Handbook.

Claw Fighting Style

You gain the Two-Weapon Fighting and Two-Weapon Defense feats as bonus feats.

Light Blade Fighting Style

You can use a light blade as if it were two weapons, making both attacks with the same weapon instead of using two different weapons. You are proficient with the rapier.

Spear Fighting Style

You can use a spear as if it were two weapons. You make both attacks with your spear instead of using two different weapons.

Two Weapon Fighting Style

Because of your focus on two-weapon melee attacks, you can wield a one-handed weapon in your off hand as if it were an off-hand weapon. In addition, you gain Toughness as a bonus feat.

Note: Core fighting style from the Player's Handbook.

Powers

When using two weapons with the Two Weapon Fighting feat, they both count as the primary weapon and get the damage bonus.

Comment: The main reason for this is simplicity.

Careful Attack

Hit: [W] + Strength modifier damage (melee) or [W] + Dexterity modifier damage (ranged).

Comment: Is this too good? Something needs to be done about this power.
