[QUOTE="keterys, post: 4964070, member: 43019"] Well, a young blue dragon is level 6. So let's say it's facing level 4 characters... other than being a dreadfully boring fight, what abilities can these level 4 characters use on the dragon to prevent it from using lightning burst on the group every round, potentially while ducking out of range every other round if there's somehow any use in doing so (like letting a mark fade). Though technically it can probably just do the lightning bursts from 22 squares away since they're burst 2 and it would still hit the ground. Yeah, that'd be funny for narrowing out javelins and magic missile too. But, what controller powers are range 20 and knock prone or stun at level 4? Phantom Chasm is one of the few I can think of, and it does require hitting - thankfully the dragon's low defense, so a good 30%-35% chance. If the wizard prepared that daily. [/QUOTE]
