#1 LlamasNotsheep Jul 23, 2009 18:36:13	I was bummed to see that Divine Power doesn't have a feat corresponding to Arcane Admixture. What do people think of house-ruling one? Arcane characters have the option to really specialize thanks to this feat, as well as to limit their weakness against resistant enemies. Pick a fire power and tack on cold and you'll be able to enjoy your cold-related feats, as well as have a means of attacking cold-resistant enemies without having your damage output completely crushed. Here's the text of AA, from the compendium: Arcane Admixture Paragon Tier Prerequisite: 11th level, any arcane class Benefit: Choose one arcane power that you know, and choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. The power now deals that damage type in addition to its normal damage type and gains that keyword. Each time you gain a level, you can choose to reassign either the power to which this feat’s effect applies or the additional damage type applied (or both). Special: You can take this feat more than once. Each time you select this feat, choose a different power. You can’t apply this feat to the same power more than once.

#3 LlamasNotsheep Jul 23, 2009 20:46:01	Not really, no. I was initially thinking lightning and fear would both go well there, although fear isn't a damage type. Just another keyword that shows up fairly often. I ended up just going with the 4 that the Anointed Champion could pick from. Lightning would be very suitable

#5 rampant Jul 25, 2009 23:09:06	What are you worried about exactly? Monsters with radiant resistance? DP already has plenty of ways to mess with radiant powers, look through the feats I'm pretty sure there will be one that reduces or negates Rad Resist. If you're worried about Divine in general, well tough, they don't get to play fancy games with their spell's energy types because they get to heal, channel, and make radiant attacks that burn out people's eyes at 30 yards. Not every source should be able to do the things the other sources do.

Arcane characters have the option to really specialize thanks to this feat, as well as to limit their weakness against resistant enemies. Pick a fire power and tack on cold and you'll be able to enjoy your cold-related feats, as well as have a means of attacking cold-resistant enemies without having your damage output completely crushed.

Here's the text of AA, from the compendium:

Arcane Admixture
Paragon Tier
Prerequisite: 11th level, any arcane class
Benefit: Choose one arcane power that you know, and choose acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder. The power now deals that damage type in addition to its normal damage type and gains that keyword.
Each time you gain a level, you can choose to reassign either the power to which this feat’s effect applies or the additional damage type applied (or both).
