I would also like to see a lot more single target conditions against monsters. This would mean that any given round, a party of 5 would hopefully not inflict more than 5 conditions total among all monsters.  The exceptions would be daily attack powers, and controllers who have access to multi-target conditions in their encounters as well.You could still have non-controller classes with multi-target attacks, but limit a condition on said attacks to the primary target only.Both the above changes would theoretically keep much of the tactics alive in 4e that make it a great game, but ease the bonus structure to make the game run a little smoother.</blockquote>
