[QUOTE="ExploderWizard, post: 5883558, member: 66434"] The solution of making many spell effects fit into parameters that didn't suit the fluff of the spell wasn't a good thing either. It seemed like everything was translated to damage as a universal effect. The [I]confusion[/I] spell used to do pretty much what one would expect. The spells victims would become confused and thus uncertain about what they would do during the duration of the spell. The 4E confusion power was a straight up 1 round domination effect with some psychic damage tacked on. :erm: There is no confusion about it, you simply get to make the victim attack one of his/her own allies with an at-will ability. Its a great short duration dominate effect but it has all the confusion flavor of wet cardboard. [/QUOTE]
