If I'm wrong then I apologize. Right now you can't use a Ranged Basic Attack with a Charge. That's melee attacks only. So I'm proposing a companion to Charge that works with Ranged Basic Attacks. I call it Strafe. It works with Ranged Basic Attacks only and instead of a +1 to hit you get a -2 but other than it works like Charge. So here it is:StrafeAction: StandardDescription: Move up to your speed and make a basic ranged attack with a -2 penalty. Special: After you use this move you can't take any other actions for this turn without spending an action point. I see this having two practical effects. Magic Missile would become a much better power since you can move and then strafe allowing you to really take advantage of magic missile's range. That might fix some of the problems with magic missile. On the other hand it would make eldritch blast (which is a fine power already) much more powerful.  Not to mention the effect it would have on any other powers that count as ranged basic attacks. I don't know if this adding this would be a good idea or not. I thought about making it a feat but I don't think it's worth it as a feat. What do you think?</blockquote>
