Ok, I have the spellscar theme, and the spellscar MC (probably overkill), but is there a reason the OCB isnt letting me add any of the powers?  Other than the OCB is terribly bugged that is.

May have found a neat loophole, though I don't keep up with Errata so this may be nerfed.

Element 1: Spellscar Savant paragon path L16 feature (use an arcane encounter power, which you have already used, a second time this encounter)

Element 2: Sage of Ages L26 utility (has Arcane keyword; is an ecounter power)

Exploit: Use L26 utility; use L16 feature to recharge L26 utility; use L26 utility again.  Other than the "makes saves at the begin of you turn instead of at the end," all the buffs granted by this power are untyped and can thus stack with themselves.  +5 saves, +2 defences and +2 attacks can thereby become +10 saves (combined with "save at start of turn" this is effectively immunity to save ends effects), +4 defences and +4 attacks.

No bonuses stack with themselves. They patched that at the global level.

You can, however use it to recharge Bladesong over and over, and as a result it's one of the best ways to make a Bladesinger not suck.

On that note, Spellscarred Savant: is it a ridiculous Leader PP or what? Seriously, that thing is a godsend for non-Valorous bards and artificers. It's incredible that there hasn't been a build centered around slapping down extra powers to keep allies buffied all fight long.

EDIT: Also, sorcerer really enjoys spellscarred savant too - since they don't have really outstanding PPs, recharging Flame Spirals is pretty cool.
Mountain Cleave Rule: You can have any sort of fun, including broken, silly fun, so long as I get to have that fun too (e. g., if you can warp reality with your spells, I can cleave mountains with my blade).

There has been a build based on abusing the recharge. It was just done years ago by Lumi.

Yeah, but it never really took off. Would be nice to see what we can do with it...a Scarswitch build, possibly?

The number of powerswap feats you have to take is rather prohibitive.

To be fair...what else are you gonna get for two feats that is as good as renewing two powers (because you're just investing in an utility power, not in spellscarred encounter powers, yes?)?

With venemous bloodfang, if you used a weapon to make all the damage necrotic, would that mean that you double all the damage you dealt and gain that as healing?

Healing Flesh of the Infected has a target of one creature.  Doesn't that mean that it would work on you as well since you are a creature?  It does not say one ally.
