It didn’t lead to any interesting decisions. It either didn’t affect you at all (the ranger still used twin strike, the wizard still cast a spell, the base-to-base fighter or rogue still used a melee attack power), it forced you to charge to get your movement + attack (which might not even be a penalty, given how OP charge was in 4e) — or it completely crippled you and may as well have been Stunned (you weren’t base to base and couldn’t ranged-attack nor charge effectively).Action denial is usually boring. Action choice forcing is much more interesting. Like… I dunno, off the top of my head… “While affected by [condition] you can still do stuff, but you take damage / grant CA / allow the enemies to tick a clock / some downside.”</blockquote>
