Minions now appear within 5 squares of the noble. That means they can appear straight into melee. For a Martial character, this kind of summoning is very odd indeed.
I suggest all powers that summon be rewritten to that minions appear within 15 squares, need line-of-effect but not line-of sight, and cannot summon within 5 squares of an enemy. This way, the minions can somewhat plausibly be said to appear out of the fog of war.
I support this as a build of the Warlord or perhaps even of my own Mastermind (see my sig), tough development of that class is pretty dead now.
Agreed range increases plausibility....
Having a henchmen / squire companion might be nice too.
