[QUOTE="Cwheeler, post: 5051531, member: 72242"] An interesting idea, and one with potential merit. I do have a few issues with it though - The chief one being the feeling of "I'm playing a Leader!" "I'm playing a Striker!", rather than "I'm playing an earthbender who trained in the way of the sundered shard" (although this could arguably be a matter of perception). It could really be done either way though, and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with the approach you proposed. The way I see it working is a little more like this: Two-Tongued Gale: Aribending Attack 1 You unleash a bust of air against two opponents Encounter • Standard Action Ranged 3 Target: Two creatures Attack: Primary stat vs. Reflex Hit: Targets take 1d8 damage Controller: Range becomes 5. Slide each target 1. Defender: You pull each target 1. You get +2 on all defenses against these targets until the end of your next turn Striker: Slide 2 before or after attacking. A quick thought on possible 'trappings' for an avatar setting: 1) All characters in Avatar have a number of powers that they can choose from when using their encounter or daily powers. (this was already suggested earlier in this thread) - this is because combat in Avatar tends to be quite fluid and versatile. 2) Characters get a +2 bonus to their defenses against attacks from the same power-source as themselves. (?) 3) Opposed attack/defense rolls rather than static targets (as the combat in avatar feels very edge-of your-seat skill-based. [/QUOTE]
