Personally, I had no problem with that (as it forced you to decide WHO was a good target to use it on instead of blindly using it on just any monster) but due to lots of feedback from various other sources, it was determined to be better suited as an option through a feat.As for the daze effect, it seemed much more... efficient... to simply put "daze" rather than saying "grants combat advantage, cannot use immediate actions, cannot use opportunity actions, etc." I mean, I'm basically defining daze here. Thematically, it makes a whole lot of sense too because purple dragons operate primarily with dazing, stunning, dominating... and stun/dominate is clearly way too powerful for a racial. So keeping in line with the creature it's based off of, daze seemed the best choice.Plus, the oddball effects I had in mind were too powerful for the racial and ended up becoming feat upgrades (see "insanity" line of feats for Maddening Presence).But yeah, hey, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!</blockquote>
