== Too Many Abilities? ==

I feel at times as though there are too many options to keep track of, and I'm considering either cutting down on some of the lower-level abilities that marshals get--that or making some of the free action ones into standard actions (Awesome Blow to be specific). Wanted a little more input before making the change though--thoughts? --[[User:Ghostwheel|Ghostwheel]] 10:14, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

:If you mad it so that marshals can use awesome blow themselves and make an attack as part of that standard action, that would be a good start. Then a typical round might by Stand Your Ground, move, Awesome Blow or Stand Your Ground, Awesome Blow on an ally, Guided Attack. If you make it a standard, however, you will probably want to have it work with No Quarter.

:Another moderately redundant ability is Step as One. You can already get your allies to move around, so I wouldn't bother with the 5ft. steps. --[[User:Aarnott|Andrew Arnott]] ([[User Talk:Aarnott|talk]], [[Special:EmailUser/Aarnott|email]]) 13:09, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

::Hmm... I would define the core of the class as Stand Your Ground, Awesome Blow, and Guided Attack. Feather Yon Foe is one of the less relevant abilities in my mind. No Quarter is more boring abilities in my mind (straight damage add) and something that I might look to cut if you're adamant on removing anything. Dizzying Retort could be folded into Awesome Blow by letting you use it on yourself, as Aarnott mentioned. I disagree with Aarnott about Step as One, however. I like that one. Break Free and Shake it Off are of a similar bent and could be combined. In general, yes, you have a lot of abilities, maybe a few of which could be removed or combined, but each has its own place (for the most part) so I'm not sure I'd consider it a glaring issue. -- [[User:Jota|Jota]] 20:31, September 30, 2010 (UTC)
