feats that provide additional damage.

Benefit: After you hit an enemy with an aug-

to the fire and the psychic damage of your powers
until the end of your next turn. The vulnerability
equals 2 and increases to 4 at 11th level and 6 at 21st

of the resistance by 5 until the end of the encounter.

you leave.

Hell’s Burning Mark


Page 28: Replace the Benefit entry with the follow-
ing text: “While a creature is marked by you, it has
vulnerable 5 fire against your attack powers.” This
change keeps the feat from making a creature vulner-
able to all fire attacks, thereby limiting the potential
additional damage the creature takes.

“Immediate Reaction” with “Free Action.” This

a character’s turn, when the trigger is most likely to
occur.

to dust and cannot be restored to life with the Raise
Dead ritual. (Epic destiny powers that allow a return from

Sudden Call
Page 142: In the Benefit entry, replace “You” with

Page 142: On the Benefit line, replace “any crea-
ture marked by you” with “any creature that has you
marked.” The benefit is incorrect. This change repre-
sent the feat’s intent.

Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls against


any creature any creature that has you marked.

Explosive Rage Strike


Page 143: Replace the second sentence of the Benefit
entry with the following sentence: “If you do so, the
power becomes a close burst 1 that targets each enemy
that you can see in the burst.” This change clarifies
how changing rage strike into a close burst affects the
power’s Target entry.

Benefit: When you use rage strike, you can reduce


the damage it deals by 2[W]. If you do so, the power
becomes a close burst 1 that targets each enemy that
you can see in the burst.

Primal Prison
Page 158: In the second sentence of the third para-
graph, replace “unconscious” with “asleep, if the
creature is capable of sleep” This change allows a
Dungeon Master to have the bandwidth to adjudicate
the effect instead of requiring a specific duration on
the unconscious condition.

and the subject is unaware of its surroundings. Destroying
the imprisoning object releases the subject, who appears
in the object’s space, bloodied and asleep, if the creature

Implements
You now require only proficiency with an imple-
ment in order to use it with an implement power.
You are considered proficient with the implements
listed in your class’s Class Traits section. Similarly,
if a multi- class feat allows you to use an implement
with a certain class’s powers, you are considered
proficient with that implement. For example, the
following feats would let you use their respective
implements with any powers, rather than just those
powers related to a given class.

Soldier of Faith
Arcane Implement Proficiency

which this rule doesn’t apply include the following.
