A Wall of Fire is not hindering terrain because the power does not specify it as such. So, no saving throw. :) [/I]

We're discussing the rules of 4th edition, not the houserules of your group. Please stick on topic. Thank you. :angel:

Well if he's not doing that then he'd just be doing flyby attacks with reach. He still has no incentive to get in the players' range if he doesn't have to. Meanwhile, the party could have brought some reach weapons, so they don't have to be useless.

If you're worried about dumbing down a monster then don't include one in the campaign. Seriously. No. Knowing that you've won the fight because the enemy is intentionally being an idiot is even less fun.

From an RP perspective, Dragons are smart and have heard stories of other dragons being overconfident and underestimating the smaller races and likewise see no reason to give them advantages in combat. :D

This is why Paladin Warlocks are fun :p!

Maybe it's your opinions that are the problem and not the rules? Divine challenge absolutely encourages you to run away from your enemy and be out of hitting range. There are far worse implications hidden in the 4th edition rules. ;)

Since this thread has been posted twice, I'll post this twice. This has got to be one of the funniest threads that I have ever seen. Seriously, if this guy was a Rogue, would you all complain about him not using his Lay on Hands on his buddies? The fact that his character likes to use thrown...

Oh indeed, HP levels would have to rise. But HP just like Attack and Defense are relative. If you gain 10 levels and get +5 attack and defense, but your opponent has gained 10 levels and gained +5 attack and defense, your chance of hitting is the same as if no levels were gained. Granted HP...

D&D already modeled LOTR in 3.5, the Fellowship just wasn't that high of level. But if a scalable minion effect was requested I would give the players scaling damage. I might for instance give players a +2 damage bonus per level and give minions a subsequent +2 hp per level, thus a minion 5...
