So I was telling my friend about the Heroes of the Forgotten Kingdoms races that would be coming out. He was disappointed that the Gnome had gotten the shaft once again. But in listing the races, I realized that the Half-Elf was the only non-monstrous or non-evil-curious race in there. This...

There's an interesting debate going on over the name of this new 4E feat: Golden Wyvern Adept Tier: Paragon Benefit: You can omit a number of squares from the effects of any of your area or close wizard powers. This number can’t exceed your Wisdom modifier. Where do you stand?
