So when a wizard moves the flaming sphere around the battlefield, he can move it over people and damage everyone in its path?

This just means that the minions should just keep moving around and tossing javelins/shooting arrows/spitting darts/etc. at the fighter.

And a very hard to aim one.

That's the smell of all the glue shots the kobolds are preparing from the cover of the DM screen.

I'm balancing this out by making these special weapons "paragon tier"; they won't be available till 10th level.

I believe it is a conjuration effect, so yes, it creates a magic floating hand.

I'm running the Kobold Manor scenario in the DMG, and my players have encountered the dreaded "kobold glue shot." Poor rogue got glued to the floor for the entire combat! So here's what I'm gonna do: They'll keep getting hit by these things, then when they get to the kobold boss encounter they...

You can move mage hand 5 squares as a minor action... but can you move it UP? It floats around, right?

If I were to allow this I'd limit it to once/encounter; once you've done the magehand trick your enemies will be wise to it. On a side note, how high can a mage hand fly, if at all? It can move 5 squares, but nothing about if it can move up into the air.

True, but I like the idea of a fear effect; I think in older editions of D&D some "ecology of the ghoul" type article said that a ghoul's paralysis was caused by fear (in order to explain why elves were immune to ghoul paralysis... elves had "spirits" instead of "souls" and hence for some reason...

You should be moving at least 3 squares away each round anyways, to take advantage of your shadow step ability.

To understand the fundamental nature of gobliness, I propose the following experiment: 1: Make a large circular corridor of hundreds or thousands of people with weapons, specially trained in attacking-but-purposefully-missing. 2: Put two goblins in the corridor, between the people. Everyone...

I might consider counting the ballista in your "xp budget" if you went around adventuring with one and used it in an encounter; either adding in extra monsters or taking away a small amount of XP used. I'm not 100% sure I'd do this, but if it seems that the ballista might be too powerful this...

Great news! I'd much rather have cover rather than just concealment from my players!

Just remember that you can only get sneak attack damage once per round.

I'd name my lightning sword "elecric razor" and make a lot of awful shaving puns and jokes.

Don't forget the "fall prone" part of the rule. If you save you are still prone; I see this as the target throwing itself to the ground or against the force pushing it in order to avoid being moved at all cost.

Wagons of Death vs. Dragons of Wrath.

It's a hand crossbow... for a titan.

I totally disagree. Getting an extra at-will is a huge draw for me. This is the only way to get an extra at-will, and most of the time you are using your at-wills. By getting another one, you've effectively increased your versatility by 50%.
