[QUOTE="Gorok, post: 5129430, member: 16099"] The "True Strike" power mentioned is on Kathor. The only similarity to the 3E spell is the name. All this power does is allow Kathor to deal half damage on a miss with his attack, if the attack misses. This is NOT the 3E mechanics, where it allows a +20 to hit bonus on the person's next attack once the spell is cast. I see no problem with this power in the 4E writeup of Kathor. The 3 thunderstones are typical of skirmishers. I see this type of "limited quantity of ammunition" throughout those type of monsters in 4E. Again, I don't see a big deal with this effect. Limiting the amount of these to only the skirmishers, and then only allowing them 3 attacks each helps reduce the nastiness of the effect. I definitely agree that the background feat allowing +1d6 lightning damage to all unarmed attacks is quite broken when combined with a monk. I'll just not allow this particular feat to be used when I run this campaign (although a starting character won't get it since there is a pre-req that he has trained at the Monastery of Two Winds, unless the player decides that is part of his "background").
