You guys ever get a temp power that you ordinarly wouldn't get in your AT? Scrapper's get an energy torrent range attack, or ice armor temp power, etc? Fun huh?
Did it unbalance the game? Nope. Make people not group? Nope.
This will be a little more granted, since they will be permenant and slotable, but the same. A scrapper with throwing stars will still be a scrapper, and will still act like a scrapper in a group.
It will be ok....

omg please tell me your not serious. I'm not saying its game breaking, but if you don't think having ranged and a hold attack will change their entire way of gaming, then you aren't playing your characters well. I would take full advantage of that situation, using ranged first to take out my ranged enemies or put them on the ground, once thats done its hold I get to melee and its all over...thank you, goodnight.

use ranged first to take out your ranged enemies? sounds exactly something a blaster would say. as a scrapper, your primary powers will almost certainly be more powerful than any pool power attacks you see, even epics. not rushing into melee range is ludicrous for a scrapper- these will be for hitting runners, etc., and the chance that a shuriken would be even half as powerful as my impale or throw spines is doubtful.
