Whirlwind Attack - If you hit a monster in a room, then the same damage will be automatically done to a second monster in the room.

Power Attack - You may inform the DM you wish to Power Attack before making an attack slide. Your attack will be -10 to hit but it will be +10 to damage if it hits the monster. This extra damage is doubled (or tripled) in the case of a critical hit.

Much better.

Relic unchanged.

Legendary
“Fight after death lite” gone.
Crit on 19-20 for 1 handed melee. Doesn’t help Thor’s, but it’s good for others. A compromise.
Power Attack. A very very interesting and thematic ability. A potentiall challenge to sliding skill on Epic.

Take my money now...

For the shield phobic, there are still tactical options:
Orb of might. Give up the Reflex save bonus, gain +1 hit and damage.
Brawlers mug. +2 damage, give up reflex bonus
Brawlers Horn. +2 to hit, give up reflex bonus.
Tankard of health. Really bad choice, but a choice

Some other choices:
Gauntlets of Weapon finesse vs Mithral Gauntlets or the new Gloves of Dire Bear. To hit vs damage?
Charm of Bonding. Carry only 1 melee weapon. Pray nothing forces you to drop it. Or worse yet - Rust Monster. Nice for Thors. If you have Charm space. I’m assuming you can’t cheese that with Thor’s. That would be some really ripe cheese. Someone moved the cheese. Good change.

I may not be in a position to craft it, but I really like the legendary now, both extra damage and some fighter flair.

Wow - this has me wondering about builds where to-hit is >= Monster AC + 8 for Power Attack.

Nightmare ACs earlier this year were less than 30.

Can I get to 38 to hit with Prayer (+2) and a L5 Legendary Bard (+5)....

Barely - but yes.

If you have a BiS build and party support the legendary grants +10 damage at no downside for monster AC up to around 30.

Some Epic ACs: 25, 26, 29, 32. 35, and some weirdo who you just had to slide an 18+ against.

So, broadly for BiS builds this is more or less +10 damage.

Monks got 19-20 and +7 on each of 2 pucks, so I'm fine with fighters getting 19-20, +7 STR, and more-or-less +10 if you have the bestest gear.

Stats to balance lack of other token combo powers? CHECK

Reward for good sliding? CHECK

Strategic play elements fitting the Fighter theme? DOUBLE CHECK!

Love the addition of Power Attack! This is exactly the kind of special that fits both the Fighter theme and the type of player who plays Fighter... a skilled slider. In addition, it allows the Fighter to take a strategic risk by making their slides a little more challenging. Bravo!

I imagine some fun “hail mary” moments where the Fighter is sliding last as time is running out and two monsters are still alive. They tell the DM, “Power Attack,” make the hit, and do just enough damage to kill the last two monsters. That’s the kind of memorable moment that will inspire newer players in a PUG to greater tokens.

Fighter looks great!

That can be arranged...

Whew! Sorry it took so long. I appreciate your patience as I blunder ahead in this crazy process. I guess this somehow works. Your feedback has been invaluable!
