[QUOTE="Sylrae, post: 4277443, member: 48520"] Personally I'm inclined to agree with him. Really, if the thing your beating intends to harm you, and you give him a weapon, then he's a threat. My POV is that this particular power is just stupid altogether and should be disregarded and replaced with something new. I feel the same way about the per encounter heal/injure everyone in a radius. There are areas where 4.0 is an improvement on 3.5, and there are areas where its a serious step backwards. This is one of those step backwards moments. I played the module for World Wide D&D Game Day today which was 4th Edition, and I looked at the books. I haven't bought them, but honestly, when I do get them I won't be running a game with them for a while afterwards, cause I'm going to find it necessary to go through the book correcting all the things like this in a word document, and the players will have the extensive house rules list before I run any campaign in 4e.
