[QUOTE="kaomera, post: 5190523, member: 38357"] I'd personally prefer to see Shifty as an encounter power become "shift + other bonus", possibly "shift 1 square and choose one enemy you are adjacent to either before or after the shift. That enemy grants you combat advantage until the end of your next turn". This example would also open up the possibility of Kobold racial feats revolving around gaini9ng combat advantage. I also don't think limiting Shifty to once per round actually does anything, since you can still use your move action (and even your Standard) to shift 1 square, or to move normally. Also note that Kobolds get no racial feat access. I would be really tempted to go this route. Does anyone have any actual play experience with Shifty being overpowered? I know eriktheguy mentioned using it without any obvious problems, so I'd think that it at least wouldn't be an issue for every group. Note that specifically WotC has said that they don't want to publish [i]too many[/i] "monster" races as PCs. Right now Gnolls, Drow, and Minotaurs are "special" and they don't want to ruin that. Actually, go ahead and add Tieflings, Revenants, Githzerai, Warforged, Wilden, Shadar-kai, [color=black]Bladelings[/color], Shifters, Gnomes, Changelings, Devas, Shardminds, Dragonborn, Goliaths, Half-Orcs, Genasi, and Kalashtar to that list while you're at it... :erm: [/QUOTE]
