[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 4419233, member: 63"] I like this, but I still haven't used 4e that much yet, so I don't know how all this balance would work out. I might end up using some of your ideas with some of my own: [list][*][b]Power Damage.[/b] Making powers do preset damage like 5d6 instead of 5[w] and then allowing you to use any weapon on any power.
