Another thought would be that the Green Magi's summoned creatures are "defenders" in the sense that the Mark a target, so that it and the Green Mage can melee an enemy, but most enemies will focus on the summoned creature, "effectively" increasing the Green Magi's defense/hit points by reducing his likelihood of being targeted.Going too focused on summons I think will keep the Green Mage OUT of the front line, which doesn't sound like something you want (based on the "wallop" concept). Perhaps an encounter power called "Relentless Revival" which allows the Green Mage to heal himself from unconsciousness but only if he was in melee when he was KO'd.I'm now going back in this thread and re-reading some stuff, but figured an unenlightened brainstorm post might be useful.</blockquote>
