[QUOTE="Xyrlove Woodsoul, post: 5554784, member: 86857"] I was just curious, if anyone else has a problem with: x gets dominated; dominator makes x run thru crowd; crowd gets OA vrs. x; x = dead. (?) Because that's pretty much what happens if anyone gets dominated in my games. Or, at least, what should happen, that is, if monsters or players are trying to win the battle (which they are). I mean, as a gm, I don't want to do that (the above) when I have a monster dominate someone. And my players don't really want to dominate someone and do likewise (but its impossible to resist doing. And it's hard not do it while running a monster, especially, if the monster/dominator is intelligent). In all, it's not very much fun for anyone. Especially, since one of my groups have a lot of domination powers, and when they face monsters with domination powers, the entire battle turns into "Ring-Around-the Rosey." And when a dominator makes a dominated creature charge, and maybe trigger one OA, then it seems fine. But that's the exception. Would it be that bad of a house rule to rule that while dominated, movement or making a ranged attack, doesn't provoke OA? I mean, with the new monster damage expressions, one can still do considerable damage forcing x to use an at-will attack. And my players optimize their characters, thus, their at-wills are pretty powerful as well. And "out of turn" attacks are nice in-and-of-themselves. If that would be a bad houserule, then does anyone have any tips in how to make "Dominated," more manageable? [/QUOTE]
