Message: <blockquote data-quote="jaldaen" data-source="post: 4414906" data-attributes="member: 214">Thanks for the comments I'm still considering what might be the best approach to the control zones and so any feedback even if only on a read-through is helpful.In the control zone rules you can only activate one control zone at a time.Thanks for pointing this out. I have changed the way in which this power works and made activating the control zone part of the power to avoid this abuse.Thanks for the suggestions I've work a few of them into the newest version of the control zones:Control Zone: Close Fire    Auxiliary Class FeatureYou are adept at skirmishing even in the midst of your enemies.At-Will    Martial, Undispellable, Weapon, ZoneMinor Action    Close blast 3Effect: The blast creates a zone that lasts until the start of your next turn. You do not provoke attacks of opportunity when making area or ranged attacks against creatures within the blast. As an immediate interrupt, you may make a ranged basic attack against an enemy in the zone that takes an action that would normally provoke an opportunity attack.Control Zone: Cover Fire    Auxiliary Class FeatureYou provide covering fire against a particular area of the battlefield disrupting an enemy’s ability to counter attack.At-Will    Martial, Undispellable, Weapon, ZoneMinor Action    Area burst 1 within weapon rangeEffect: The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of your next turn. As an immediate interrupt, you may make a ranged basic attack against an enemy who attempts to stand up or makes a ranged or area attack while within the zone. The target suffers a -2 penalty to the attack roll of its triggering attack whether you hit or miss.Or:Requirement: When you activate this control zone you must expend 1 shot of ammunition or thrown weapon. Effect: The burst creates a zone that lasts until the beginning of your next turn. Creatures that enter the zone or start their turn there suffer a -1 penalty to attack rolls checks until the end of your next turn. Control Zone: Taunting Fire    Auxiliary Class FeatureYou taunt your enemy in an attempt to keep his attention on you.At-Will    Martial, Undispellable, Weapon, ZoneMinor Action Area burst 1 within weapon rangeEffect: The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of your next turn. As an immediate reaction, you may make a ranged basic attack against an enemy in the zone that moves away from you or makes a ranged or area attack that does not include you. If the target is moving away from you it suffers a -1 penalty to speed whether you hit or miss. If the target made an attack that did not include you, then it suffers a -2 penalty to the attack roll of its triggering attack.Or: Requirement: When you activate this control zone you must expend 1 shot of ammunition or thrown weapon.Effect: The burst creates a zone that lasts until the beginning of your next turn. Enemies that enter the zone or start their turn there suffer a -1 penalty to AC, Reflex, and Perception checks in regards to any creature other than you until the end of your next turn.Control Zone: Overwatch    Auxiliary Class FeatureYou keep watch over a particular area of the battlefield like a hawk and take advantage of any opportunity, which presents itself.At-Will    Martial, Undispellable, Weapon, ZoneMinor Action    Area burst 1 within weapon rangeEffect: The burst creates a zone that lasts until the start of your next turn. You gain a +2 bonus to your Perception skill checks to spot creatures in the zone. As an immediate interrupt, you may make a ranged basic attack against an enemy who enters or leaves a square within the zone. However, you can’t make one if the enemy shifts, teleports, or is forced to move into or out of a square within the zone.It's mainly there because of this being a martial effect and its more believeable when cover fire/taunting fire have ammo expended for their effects.</blockquote>
