attacking an area a little higher: blasts and bursts in 3D

Done.

wow... you have to send an email to let WotC decide if such things are possible...

why do allies don´t provide cover to enemies? its because you shout: heads down...
why can you move throgh your allies space? because they allow you to pass...

4e rules seem to assume standard situations and don´t cover special cases... but they specifically state that there are many exceptions which overwrite the standard rules, and so it seems allowing to shoot over your unconcious friend seems quite rule conform...

you decide: do you want to play a roleplaying game or a board/computer game?

"Ducking" seems perfectly balanced to me. First, you're going to have to wait until everyone's turn comes up so they can take a free (or is it minor?) action to drop prone.

If it was free, then we would have a very serious problem because when all your allies "ducked," all the enemies would probably follow suit in order to avoid the Burst/Blast... and combats would turn into ring-around-the-rosey games

Thankfully, it's a minor action, which means you can only do it on your turn... and become vulnerable to melee attacks and lose both a minor and movement action to drop prone and stand back up.
