So, it dropped a very high percentage of the encounter out the window (it was N+3, definitely dropped to at least N=1). That's just free XP for the taking with zero real risk.Even if a given BBEG fight uses an Elite, it's still doing the equivalent of an auto-kill. The Elite is being turned into a Standard, hence, one monster equivalent instead of two. Again, pretty much free XP.As for it using both Wis and Cha, this is true. This particular Cleric is fairly vulnerable for Fort and Reflex, but not all Clerics have to be that way. Starting stat of 16+2 Wis and 16 Cha would still prevent 8 damage and the Cleric could focus on other non-Cha stats for all future stat boosts.He should if he could.We both know that this isn't going to happen 99% of the time.The monster is neutered. The Defender and Controller have too many ways to prevent the monster from getting near the Cleric.He isn't going to pound the Cleric into the ground at all and typically, the Cleric isn't going to use this power in round one unless he has a strong notion that the foe is a badass. One way to know this is that if the foe had a stunning type power, he often would have used it already. Even if the foe has a stunning power remaining, there's still the fact that the other PCs aren't going to let the foe anywhere near the Cleric.</blockquote>
