[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 5341093, member: 55816"] After DM-ing the dark sun encounters, i can say they provided the least amount of improvement possible. The only two that really ever made an impact was the adept power helping an ally make a save and 'excise from sight' acting like eyebite (albeit with user choice for who goes invisible) all the other powers were pretty much at wills that weren't at will, and never made a big difference. Actually I guess Excise from sight did make a few import contributions, it helped keep someone safe for one round and it did kill the BBEG, which I ruled excised HIM from sight, so they had to search around for his invisible corpse after the battle, (but any power that hit would have killed him*shrug*) Bottomline: They don't tip any balances in the end, mostly they're unimpressive encounters that don't outshine any at wills. Excise from sight is the best I saw, and I have no problem with it. [/QUOTE]
