[QUOTE="AllisterH, post: 5028211, member: 51325"] Um, pawsplay, you do realize that the very first PC race after the PHB (Drow in the FRplayer's guide) HAS darkvision right? Not sure where this idea that darkvision would be too strong originated from since, as mentioned by WOTC, the races at the back of the MM were simply stop-gap measures until/if proper writeups were given. re: Flight Flight not only has combat specific issues a DM has to deal with...It has non-combat specific issues a DM has to deal with it. One of the things about 4e is that it tries to help DMs by having things in a tier system. By the time you hit EPIC, the bog standard monster OR encounter should be written with the understanding that PCs can fly. At Heroic, encounters both combat and non-combat flying should be rare to nonexistent. Certainly not to the extent that it's at-will.... (Again, it should be noted that PCs CAN fly in Heroic. They simply can't have PERSONAL flight. Want to fly, do what most people in literature/mythologe do. Get an animal/device such as a hippogriff or a witch's broom Personal powered flight is more akin to superheroics IMO) [/QUOTE]
