[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5156073, member: 82106"] Which is of course why Twisted Eye (admittedly with 1 augment) is there. If you can't/don't want to follow the enemy and you're more than 2 squares distant from the character you're defending then you drop a Twisted Eye on the enemy. If you ARE within 2 squares you can just use Blurred Step to get within one square, at which point you can Mind Spike the enemy when he attacks (and remember, he's STILL marked by you, this is a bad deal all around for the enemy). I see the Battlemind's defending as a lot like the way the Paladin defends. Mind Spike is a sort of inverse of Lay on Hands. Instead of patching up the damage after the fact, you hurt the enemy after the fact or just degrade its to-hit so much the attack is futile. I really don't think I'll have much trouble running with this concept in a game. Its going to play a good bit different than a fighter and maybe more like a warden (as someone else noted) but it should work fine. The only aspect of the Battlemind I'm really at all unsure about right now is just that it seems like you are tied fairly closely to the people you defend in most situations. It sounds like that may change as you level up, but it is a bit different than most of the other defenders. [/QUOTE]
