[QUOTE="GoodKingJayIII, post: 4187503, member: 13804"] Fitz, thanks for the comment. I'll adjust the XP, which is definitely something I do not have a handle on. As for Point-and-Haft, I see your point. I'll have to take a closer look on tomorrow as its ungodly late right now, but I was trying to make a melee dude with some movement powers, as opposed to a movement dude with some nice melee powers. It may require some tweaking. As for the scalding water issue... eh. It's abstract. It's not really Fire damage, per se. But how else does one represent a superheated jet of steam? I think of it like this: burns hurt like hell. I mean, they're awful. That ongoing damage doesn't represent being caught on fire or anything like that; it's just the continued pain from the burns wearing you down. Let it overcome you, and you could pass out, go into shock, etc. Making your save represents being able to ignore that pain for the crucial 30 seconds it takes to kill the guy so he doesn't continue to sear you with scalding water.
