I know, because I've played them!I use a variety of fiat devices to ensure that most encounters in my 4e game happen at a respectable range (respesctable from the point of view of melee, that is - ie not too far away).Mostly this is terrain-based. In our last epic-tier session one of the players did complain about my activating the hundred-handed one at close range without any sort of warning, and was probably in the right to do so - I had intended to give some sort of description as they approached the area, but my neither my notes nor my memory were up to the task. The player good-naturedly sucked it up.</blockquote>
