[QUOTE="Elder-Basilisk, post: 4075217, member: 3146"] You see, this is the kind of assumption that gets game designers into trouble. What if a paladin does get a striker's mobility (maybe he multiclassed or has striker training or figured a way to use some power from the third splatbook published to give himself lots of mobility)? What if other party members get means to reduce the targets' mobility? (Which seems to be almost a certainty given the immobilized condition, etc). "Wraithstrike is OK because wizards don't get into melee anyway." (And apparently the designers still thought that despite all evidence to the contrary when Spell Compendium came out because it's was unchanged from its complete Arcane incarnation which is on the short list of "most broken spells in the game"). If you're going to engage in that kind of game design, you'd better be darn sure you're right. We'll see if WotC is any better at it now than they were when they insisted throughout every new rules supplement that druids were underpowered. [/QUOTE]
