[QUOTE="Doctor Proctor, post: 4543990, member: 78547"] Oh, it's not an auto-win of course, just another option. That's what he was worried about before, was that with a Brust 2 (that's 5x5) power doing 2d8 at 1st level, why take anything else? With it being properly scaled now, it's more a matter of personal choice. In our party, for example, the Rogue usually doesn't engage the guys in the Icy Terrain area. We use it more as a way to lock down a group for a round, and keep them out of combat. The Rogue will usually stick by me or another front-liner and try to flank to get CA. This way, we can focus on the guys hitting us [I]now[/I], and worry about the guys in the Icy Terrain in two turns when they're actually able to move around again. Of course, other parties might just throw Icy Terrain right in front of the front line, and have a Rogue there using an Action point to get two sneak attacks in, along with some beat downs from the Fighter. In that case, Icy Terrain is the better power for that party. [/QUOTE]
