[QUOTE="DrSpunj, post: 4566283, member: 994"] This is a [b]very[/b] important point! Everyone in this thread keeps referring to "Illusory Pit" or something like that and it's been months since I read the Dragon article where these powers appeared. The At-Will power is [i]Illusory Ambush[/i] which has a range of 10 and does psychic damage and imposes a -2 penalty to attacks until end of next turn. [i]Phantom Chasm[/i] is a [u]daily[/u] power, an Area burst 1 with a range of 20 that does psychic damage and also immobilizes and knocks the target prone until the end of its next turn on a hit. On a miss it [i]only[/i] immobilizes the target; it does [b]not[/b] knock the target prone! With that information, considering it's a Daily power and the only one a 4th level Wizard has available, I'd let it affect a flying creature, Dragon or otherwise. I'm not sure I or any of my players would be mentally quick enough to come up with any of the various re-flavorings offered here right away but this is a psychic assault that should have some reasonable effect on a flying creature with a hit. While the dragon might take some damage if hit with the power and floats down & then falls because of the prone condition it's not likely "out of the fight" entirely. If the Wizard is lucky enough to pull this off it will be a very memorable fight for the party which is exactly what I'd be working towards for my players with a Dragon encounter! :cool: [/QUOTE]
