[QUOTE="keterys, post: 4939717, member: 43019"] Yep - it's complicated, but that is one possible solution. I don't know if it would fly, but that's using your imagination to problem solve, exactly! I think we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Cover, point blank, flank, area attacks, opportunity attacks all made a map a big deal for 3e. True. I did say earlier in the thread that _slide_ has issues. But if you cut out 10% of the powers, you'd not encounter that problem at all, and D&D with 90% of the power choices would still be more power choices than they're likely to want to code off the bat _anyways_. So you can have Footwork Lure, and maybe a couple things like Diabolic Grasp (where you get to move your 'claw-mouse' to where the enemy gets dropped), but Shout of Triumph is out. And yet, the truth. Don't use words like impossible if it isn't. Simple as that. If anyone says 2+2=5, I'd _also_ tell them flatly they were wrong. And consider it civilized.
