[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6078397, member: 22779"] KM, I'd also point out that in the situation where your power didn't work, you were trying to set an entire tree on fire. The tree wasn't dead. And, in that case anyway, I think it had more to do with the DM not wanting to grind the game to a halt while he figured out what the heck a forest fire actually meant and how it should be resolved, than with any attention to setting fidelity. :D Granted, I wasn't DMing that, but, I do recall the situation. I'd also point out that this was very, very early in everyone's 4e career. That particular event was what, two years ago, and we hadn't been playing 4e all that long at that point. I imagine that if the same thing happened today, the answers might be different. For example, recently teleporting bad guys through walls, despite no line of sight. Not something that is technically allowed for in the rules, but, cool anyway. :D [/QUOTE]
