[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 4773864, member: 48965"] First Mallus, this has nothing to do with what I do or don't like... nowhere in the 3 4e corebooks is narrative control as it pertains to powers ever discussed, so honestly I see this as a cop out. You see the other rpg's I've played that allowed narrative control were generally explicit in signifying this to the people playing through explanation of the rules. So wait, after I as the player make the NPC's move adjacent to my fighter...is it me or the character who then attacks the NPC's that I as the player and not player character made move there? I mean it's still part of the same power... right? Second going by your explanation that means depending on which class you pick then the nature of what a power is changes? Are you seriously arguing that when I play a Warlock my player character uses his actual powers... but if I play a Fighter he doesn't actually use any powers... instead I as the person playing him does...Uhm, ok if you say so. But how about we ascribe to Occam's razor, though I realize you may not like this answer, and go with a simpler answer...magic? [/QUOTE]
