[QUOTE="Cadfan, post: 4510983, member: 40961"] That doesn't make any sense. The reason that OAs at reach is a dangerous power that's being restricted to the paragon tier is because OAs affect every single enemy within 2 spaces of you when you can take OAs with a reach weapon. That's a 5x5 square on the battlefield where every single enemy inside of it cannot use move actions, or else they'll take a fighter's basic attack, at a bonus to the attack roll equal to his wisdom modifier, and with an additional penalty of having their move negated if they're hit. When you take a Combat Challenge extra attack at range, all you do is hit a dude. It only affects someone you attacked in the previous turn, so just one enemy at most. Its way less game breaking to have one enemy, struck at a range of one space, restricted from being able to shift or attack enemies without getting struck. I'm ok with it costing a feat or something, that's fine by me. I just don't think it should wait all the way until level 16. [/QUOTE]
