Message: <blockquote data-quote="Eric Finley" data-source="post: 4970709" data-attributes="member: 83401">Actually, Lightning Lure is the perfect example of a power this would massively change.  Checking its text, it doesn't specify a pull distance - just that you pull it adjacent to you.  So if the thing is way over on the other side of the battlefield, you still get to pull it all the way over to where you are.  So where Lightning Lure is normally kept reasonable by the fact that it is extremely short-ranged, here it gains tremendously in power.In fact, here's a broken combo for you.  One Swordmage/Wizard/Blood Mage with Lightning Lure, one Shaman/Keen Eagle.  The shaman starts out at range 35+ from the target, hiding.  The swordmage starts out in North Waziristan (or, if you prefer, at range 50 or more from the target).Shaman breaks cover and sprints (double-run, why not?) to within 21 of the target, and summons his companion adjacent to it with his minor.  Far away, his pal casts Blood Pulse on the target, and blows an AP for Lightning Lure.  The target is now pulled clear into North Waziristan, taking 1d6 per five feet traveled.  The question of signalling actually matters at this point - hey, maybe we've finally got a justification for that terrible Level 10 Warlock utility, Ambassador Imp!More seriously, though, I think it's awesome.  Tank the Shaman proper, with stuff that'll keep him invisible 'til he attacks, and hide the rest of the party behind a wall where they're totally out of the line of fire.If you've abbreviated the quote and the allies have to be adjacent to you or within X squares, you can still do that - all you need to do is provide the shaman with LoS to the spirit, and you can all stay out of harm's way.</blockquote>
