In most games, all spells/powers have this kind of noncombat use. It was just 4E, with its emphasis on "ignore the fluff" that lost it - if this power can be reskinned as the player wishes, how can any noncombat uses be invented with reference to the fluff?Dausuul's tagline "There is no fluff. There is no crunch. There are only rules of varying precision. When you understand this, you will be master of the rules." sums up my attitude to this - EVERY power has and SHOULD have LOTS of potential uses!(I really didn't have to to search deep to find the tagline once I thought of it - just quote from the last post, right above where I was typing. ^^)</blockquote>
