How do your various "Sticky" combat options interact with the various Move-by attacks (Move, Attack, Move)?

Re: Magicians Casting Buffs On Teammates `From Behind'

A popular house rule in the wake of this has been to return the option, but rule that regardless of the result, the effect is based on a single success on the spellcasting test. This issue came up in discussion at tonight's game. I was thinking to use this house rule, but increase the max successes...

Re: [ED4] Astral Sense and Astral Targeting

Interesting. Thanks for finding that. How would you translate this into 4E? I'm not sure I like being forced to target the lowest MD in range. I do like the sensing lasting for the duration of the spell instead of the duration of Astral Sight. The range is a bit of a tradeoff, but the strain reducti...
