[QUOTE="ukingsken, post: 4858225, member: 78358"] [sblock=ooc]Excellent I'll retcon that up. I only had access to compendium not the PHB and thus no diagrams. As an aside read these two compendium entries and tell me if you would draw the same conclusion I drew? Or maybe I was just sleepy. [sblock=Blast & Burst][B]Blast [/B]A blast fills an area adjacent to you that is a specified number of squares on a side. For example, the wizard power thunderwave is a Blast 3, which means the power affects a 3-square-by-3-square area adjacent to you. The blast must be adjacent to its origin square, which is a square in your space. The origin square is not affected by the blast. A blast affects a target only if the target is in the blast’s area and if there is line of effect from the origin square to the target. [B]Burst[/B] A burst starts in an origin square and extends in all directions to a specified number of squares from the origin square. For example, the cleric power flame strike is a burst 2 within 10 squares of you, which means the power originates in a square up to 10 squares away from you and affects the origin square and every square within 2 squares of it (a 5-square-by-5-square area). Unless a power description notes otherwise, a close burst you create does not affect you. However, an area burst you create does affect you. A burst affects a target only if there is line of effect from the burst’s origin square to the target.[/sblock] So you can see how "The blast must be adjacent to its origin square, which is a square in your space." without a diagram could lead one to believe it had to be a square you occupied, especially since it doesn't effect it's origin square. Anyway glad we got it figured. [I]Edit: As an aside got home and got my books this morning. Wow compendium should add some diagrams because that would have avoided my confusion.[/I][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
