[QUOTE="Samurai, post: 4621590, member: 3850"] Thanks for the reply and feedback! Here are my thoughts: I view Commander's Strike (and Feather me yon oaf) as the Warlord's ranged attack. When he can't get close enough to an enemy himself (or if he's back guarding the Wizard or something), he can order someone else who is in position to attack to attack for him. If he's already in melee, he doesn't really need to use this power, and might be better off using one of his other powers, or else Shift 1 square away from the melee and then use it. What we'd do is use the width of a standard ruler and if it crosses through a foe, it's hit. That's the same as you are suggesting, essentially. Under these rules, Action Points have become more common (every battle instead of every other battle) which reduces their value, and Surges are more difficult to recover (only 3 per extended rest, not all of them) and have additional uses (such as powering up a ring, etc), making them more valuable. However, I agree that it's still a rather powerful feat... do you think limiting it to once a day, instead of per encounter, would be better? Ring of Feather Fall is 14th level, so Paragon, but it's still a good point. I thought about allowing very limited real flight (until end of next turn once per day maybe) and/or taking no or minimum damage from falling (1 point per 10'). I worried that these might be too powerful though. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
