It seems to be the concensus that a Wizard can ride on top of his own floating disk and direct it at will. So apparently there is nothing to stop someone from making a mini-fortress and riding about in it like a slow-motion hovertank. Indeed given that anyone with a skill and a feat can use rituals now, an entire party drift about in steel shells unleashing arrows, eldritch blasts and fireballs like a fantasy version of Hammer's Slammers. This wasn't practical in the previous 3 versions of D&D because of limited durations and the fact that the disk would only follow the wizard and could not be moved at will.Is this a deliberate change on the part of wizards or simply an accident of design? It seems impossible to me that the 4e design team could have let something like this slip through by accident, but an adventuring party floating around in zap dispensing towers like a pod of hovering Daeleks seems very un-4e.</blockquote>
