[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 5080692, member: 59057"] I expect the tarrasque to have very high fort (bull rush a tarrasque?) but 32 will is a bit low IMHO On the other hand, while attacking fort with all your at wills is a poor decision, it is best for you to have powers which also target fort. When there are ranged attackers and fast skirmishers, having a good encounter or a third at will that targets fortitute is definitively a good choice, even if there is only one of those monsters every battle. I would say, havin a daily that attacks fort is even better, but in the wizards case, your encounters are filling then utility space, because your dailies are worth too much. You should however consider having a fort attacking spell in your spellbook, just in case... Also you should a bit closer on the statistical average defenses... the tarrasque alone lowers average will and increase average fort by a bit... add in some bore brutes and maybe you see that attacks vs fort is not that bad in actual play... (maybe) So i would recommend an attack that targets fortitude and has an effect that slows or pulls, since that is an effect which hinders attackers that rely on reflex (or will) [/QUOTE]
