[QUOTE="Marshall, post: 4772705, member: 765"] Since 3e's Bo9S WotC has demonstrated, over and over, that they have no idea how to assign levels to powers. With every class in 4e having an extensive list of powers this glaring weakness just becomes more and more apparent. Frex... SOR 25 Acid Typhoon vs SOR 29 Hellish Firestorm Both are Area Burst 2, Range 20, Standard, Each Creature, CHA vs FORT attacks with exactly the same Storm Magic rider. The difference? 4d8+CHA Acid and Thunder with ongoing 10 Acid vs 3d10+CHA Thunder with ongoing 10 Fire.... The 25th level attack has greater min damage, greater max damage, greater average damage, more descriptors(so its less resistable)...IOW, superior in every way. Why can I see this in a 5 min toilet seat perusal when the guys who are getting paid for it cant see the forest for the trees? I'm sure there are more examples of this, please contribute....
