[QUOTE="Soopervilin, post: 4734258, member: 82651"] You could always try a houserule feat to make some of your melee based attack powers ranged. I presented this to our DM and he had no problem with it. I posted in another thread, but I'm not sure how to link to a specific post. So here's the feat again. [I] Lead from the Rear Prerequisites: Cleric or Warlord All of your Cleric or Warlord encounter attack powers with the Weapon keyword become ranged and use the appropriate ability score modifier for attack and damage rolls. Effects that take place on a hit still occur, but with the target’s square as the origin. Effects that take place regardless of a hit still occur as normal. [/I] The idea is that a healer (and military leader warlords) shouldn't have to be up on the front line to be effective. I can see a warlord standing behind his soldiers chucking spears or whatnot over their heads, and having the party's primary healer on the front line just seems really silly to me. Also note that this is just for a few encounter powers, but if applied properly it could make clerics more versatile. I'm using it on my elf cleric/ranger, and I'll finally get to see it in action on Friday. [/QUOTE]
