Prerequisite: 4th level, the ability to cast force or tech powers

You've practiced casting powers more accurately from long range, learning techniques that give you the following benefits:

  • When you cast a power that requires you to make an attack roll, the power's range is doubled.
  • Your ranged force and tech attacks ignore one-quarter, half, and three-quarters cover.
  • You learn one at-will power that requires an attack roll. Your casting ability for this at-will power depends on the power list you chose from: Wisdom or Charisma (depending on power alignment) for force powers or Intelligence for tech powers.
