[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7823141, member: 6919838"] Just a few comments. First, along the way someone discussed using EB to move obstacles... it can only target creatures. Second, by the time we make it past 5th level or so, maybe before then, the visbility of the single large brute starting at range in open closing with party scenario is well gone - no retreat or kiting necessary. The impact of magic and class abilities do change the way challenges s work as you move from tier to tier as a matter of course. Trying to keep "simple" threats effective past the point where they are is...well... what I would call warping. Third, if a GM is running a game at tiers 3-4 where this class is causing a problem, sure, talk with your players and if everyone is on board and consider best fixes. Might be changing this is the right thing... or maybe it's a more varied challenge suite. Maybe you change this yo see another thing replace it because, you know tier 3-4 isnt really conducive to success of "simple direct" challenges by dumb brutes. You really dont have to prove yo strangers thst something is broken yo change it, just talk to your players and see who agrees that there is s problem, that this is [I]the[/I] problem and that this is the right fix. My bet is, if its happening as often as claimed st a given table, that eont be hard. [/QUOTE]
