[QUOTE="Xyrlove Woodsoul, post: 5642897, member: 86857"] Hmm. Don't you think that can be unbalanced in some cases? For example, I'm adding a Ranger template to an existing level 30 monster, and the power; Three-in-One Shot: Target: One creature Attack: Dexterity vs. AC, three attacks. If the first attack hits, you gain a +5 bonus to the second and third attack rolls. If the first attack misses, roll the second and third attacks normally. Hit: 2[W] + Dexteriity modifier per attack. Miss: Half damage.
