(3d8+3 dmg, you and each ally within 5 squares gets +5 attack bonus to target until end of encounter).   I can see a tough boss battle coming down to whether or not the warlord's power hits.  If I had to roll a level 1 warlord, i would take action surge (feat, +3 to attacks if you are making the attack with an action point) and use it every time I used my daily.compare it to the ddxp cleric's cascade of light, for example (3d8+4 radiant damage, target gains vulnerability 5 to all your attacks (save ends).  weak.  As for wizards: what has been better, sleep or melfs acid arrow?  Is sleep a good crowd controller, or has it dissapointed?Also: ask/discuss any cool strategy points you have come across, as player or DM</blockquote>
