I'm fine upping it a step anyways - it's been so long that I worked on these that I thought my baseline was C+, but it's actually B- so I need to make another pass through.Agreed.Also agreed <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Eh, B- was the baseline, but I actually thought it was C+... oops. That said, I expect the powers people take to actually be higher than that, since balance is a tricky thing and people like more powerful stuff... hence Wall of Ice, Unyielding Avalanche, etc <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />It was _theoretically_ broken before... if you've seen some of the explanations, it used things like multiple characters to setup a situation in which you hit on a 2 for all the attacks in the sequence, had +100 damage per attack, and had 3 or so rerolls to unroll 1s. At which point you were hitting 800 or so times so everything exploded. At 5 attacks, you can still setup that crazy stuff and it will do the 500 damage... so it's certainly powerful, but in the same situation Confounding would do the 300 damage and stun (save ends)... and Twin Strike does 200 damage... so, eh?Do make sure when you look at a power that you look at it at more than just immediately when you get it, but also over the course of how long you have it... so level 15 through 28 you'll have this power. But, mostly I don't tend to think of 'this happens 3 rounds later' as being that worrisome, since any creature you're attacking other than a solo should be dead three rounds later. I'll probably bump it a notch, all the same.</blockquote>
