Then, a chase with the defender desperately trying to keep the prince far enough away from the phane while the other PCs take it down - easier said than done when facing those slow powers!Well, I guess we'll see... but it seems like there's so much room for this sort of stuff with the tiers framework, all powers having levels, and so forth, I'd be surprised if there isn't at least something in this direction in the official rules.</blockquote>
