Talk:Static Discharge (4e Power)

i think that the damage should be reduced to 1d4 because you have a larger burst area and it also is at will

Compare to Thunderwave, a blast 3 that does the same damage and pushes the target a number of squares equal to your Wisdom modifier. Static Discharge can potentially hit more targets (if they're all bunched closely around you), but it doesn't push them back, making it more specialized in its use. I feel that this balances it out, but I could be wrong. If I were to change Static Discharge, however, it would be by reducing the area or changing it to another area type (maybe a ranged attack), not reducing the damage. -- Dracomortis 17:22, 26 August 2009 (MDT)
