Something I'd like to see is a series of various powers that Hybrid two classes.

For example A fighter/Rogue set of skills that are more duelist like power. It counts as both, allowing one to get both sneak attacks and marks, as the power is specifically designed for that. This is to create a deeper blending between the two classes. They can be gained either by hybrid or even multiclassing.

For example,

Mosquito Bite Rouge/Fighter lvl 1 encounter
Free Action - Triggers when you miss with an attack that targeted AC
Dex vs reflex
1[w] + Dex
Requires an Off hand weapon or light blade.
Special: You have combat advantage for this attack.


There there is powersource powers. These are powers that are usable throughout the entire powersource, regardless of role.

Example could be

Wall Brace - Martial level 2 utility encounter
Make a climb check in an area that can support you.. (such as a corner or two pillars no more than 5 feet apart.) You may climb have your speed and stop there.
You may make attacks unhindered while braced.
Sustain Minor - Make an endurance check every time you sustain starting at a dc 5. Increase the Dc each round you sustain. (DC also increases based on your weight)



And then there are Role powers, which are powers that are usable regardless of powersource between all classes of that role.

Example would be something like

Distracting Spate - Striker Role - level 2 utility encounter
Range 5
Make a bluff check vs your targets insight. If you succeede the next attack you do has combat advantage.

To furth elaborate on the hybid powers..

Rogue/Fighter would be a Duelist, someone who is more focused on quick agile attacks.
Fighter/Rogue would be a Strong Arm, a dirty street fighter who isn't afraid of hurting his foes.
Rogue/Wizard would be something of an Arcane Trickster, Combining magic to enhance his own thievery.
Wizard/Rogue would be more of a Spell Thief, which revolves around using thievery to enhance thier magic.

A person who is an acrane trickster can still choose abilities that are spell thief, but its Dex based powers and then Int based.

An example of a strong arm power would be

Dirty Strike At-will power
Melee weapon
Str vs AC
1[W] + Str
Special-Deals 1 less sneak attack die.
At level 21 increase to 2[w] and deals full sneak attack damage.

Arcane Trickster has

Predicting Strike At-Will power
Implement
Dex vs Reflex
1d4+Int Cold damage.
Special - if the target is flanked, you have combat advantage for this attack.
