Pool powers

Does anyone know how to add pool powers to your bosses/EBs/AVs?

If we can't, are there plans to add them?

Personally, I think making the Fighting pool and certain temp powers available would be a good idea...not as a third available set, but as a replacement for a custom critter's primary or secondary power sets.

I want to create a low level arc revolving around gangbangers that are more realistic than the very four-color Hellions and Skulls...a gritty, street level kind of story. However, attempting to design these character types with the existing sets is daunting. You wind up with a bunch of assault rifle minions without melee secondaries (since customs can't have two weapons), and it doesn't have the feel I want. I want my little gangstas pulling out cheap Saturday night specials, not military hardware. The AK's are for the lieuts and bosses to carry. I also want them to carry melee weapons as backups. It's hard to create customs that have both ranged and melee capabilities who don't look superpowered.

To this end it would be nice to have temp powers like Revolver, Shotgun, Hatchet, Sledgehammer, and so forth usable by custom critters...again, as a replacement for either the primary or secondary power sets. It would also be helpful to have Fighting available to create slightly tougher thugs.

And the Stealth pool to be able to give custom mobs an alternative to giving them Hide, which is overpowered for most purposes.

I made a Thugs/Nin Boss and without Luck Inspirations he is crazy hard takes what feels like forever just to target him in the crowd while all his minions are beating on you. It is fun though.
