[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 6646391, member: 82106"] Refer to my previous post, the idea of 'glass balance' in 4e is ludicrous. Beyond that there are about 12,000 powers now listed in 4e, you CAN find one that does pretty much what you want, its virtually a statement of fact at this point, not even conjecture. As for not having a power chosen.... I don't understand what you're getting at here. Of course nobody anticipates everything.
