[QUOTE="dangerous jack, post: 4632788, member: 23654"] True, this is a possibility, but the Cleric's power is [B][I]always[/I][/B] tactically better than the Paladin's. There's no opportunity for the Paladin to be the hero, and other utility powers allow for that (even if it's out of combat). It's always going to be: is this encounter tough enough to warrant the Cleric expending his daily? If not, only then should we consider the Paladin's. Well, it's not like the paladin has a load of choices right now (3) :.-(. But I guess I should allow for the possibility that it's Shield of Faith that is overpowered, not Sacred Circle that is underpowered. I am coming from the premise that a level 2 utility power within a characters class should not be outshone [B][I]and invalidated[/I][/B] 100% of the time by another PC's level 2 utility power within his class. Current thoughts: after sleeping on it, I'm not sure whether I'll bump it to an encounter power. Burst 3 for the length of the encounter, every encounter, could effectively give the PCs a +1 to AC, since a 7x7 square is a large enough space to allow for a lot of tactics. [/QUOTE]
