The new Dragons will have no problem handling this - in fact it might be the perfect powers to survive a low level black dragon encounter (it packs serious heat!). Actually, I can't really think of a lot of MM3 creatures that won't do enough damage to get around these powers anymore. Before with joke damage? I can't agree more. But now? Something like Iron to Glass on a MV Owlbear helps you survive: Not auto-win the encounter.The only one that is an issue would be the temp HP power. That's because as Abdul has said, it's basically getting a free surge every combat. Then again if the party is in fireball formation to use it - then the encounter starts - they're going to be relying on initiative or suffer terribly from artillery. Not to mention there are always solutions now, especially at epic (where you would think this would be most potent). Dracoliches and Klurichirs both negate healing (the dracolich prevents gaining of temp HP as well) and there are monsters that ignore temporary HP straight up.Not to mention traps and undead that inflict straight surge damage. But to be honest, the more I think of it the more I don't mind the power. It can actually be very hard to get PCs to have a longer adventuring day - due to complete lack of surges on the front line characters part - than to make them last a few encounters. I honestly don't know how I'd react to that tactic without having played with it a few sessions. I think it could actually save me some effort. Every campaign I've run post-MM3 I've had to have ways for PCs to regain surges - often quite a lot of them at that.</blockquote>
