Hermetic Saboteur

"Drive them into the alcove. I've arranged a little welcome for them there."

Prerequisite: Wizard

Few things please you more than creating nasty magical surprises for your foes. Although your traps are illusory, they are no less deadly to foes who stumble into them. As well, you love to add your own arcane flourishes to mundane traps, catching enemies off guard when they believed themselves safe. Admittedly, you might take unseemly glee in your phantasmal pyrotechnics. But wreaking havoc is so much fun!
Still, you must not incur your companions' wrath by scattering such deadly tricks too liberally, or putting them where they could be triggered by accident. So you are careful . . . as careful as a saboteur can be.

HERMETIC SABOTEUR PATH FEATURES

    Attune Target (11th level): Once per encounter, when you use a wizard power that is a blast, a burst, or a wall, you can choose one square within 20 squares of you as that power's origin square instead of its normal origin square.
    Saboteur's Action (11th level): When you spend an action point to use an area or close wizard attack power, all targets of that power grant combat advantage to you until the end of your next turn.
    Adjust Attunement (16th level): All targets of attack powers affected by your Attune Target path feature grant combat advantage to you until the end of your next turn, regardless of whether those targets were hit or missed by your attacks.

Sometimes the wrong person triggers the trap. Fortunately, you have an answer for that.

Immediate Interrupt Ranged 10

Trigger: A creature triggers a trap within range

Primary Target: The triggering creature

Secondary Target: A different creature within 10 squares of the primary target

Effect: The primary target and secondary targets swap positions, and the secondary target is considered to have triggered the trap. If the secondary target is you or an ally, he or she gains a +4 bonus to all defenses against that trap's attacks until the end of the secondary target's next turn.

Sustain Minor: The zone persists. When you move, the zone moves with you, remaining centered on you, unless you used your Attune Target path feature to change the origin square of the burst. In that case, you can move the zone 5 squares as a move action.
