[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5088312, member: 807"] Based on the wording of the power, I would say that you do not need to be adjacent to the SC (but any ally who is going to get the effects must be). If it required you to be in the SC's burst 1, it would have said "if you are adjacent to SC ..." like it does for a couple other powers. 'You' is always written as a separate clause/condition than 'allies' since you are not your ally (by definition). Example: You 5 squares away from your SC, your SC with allies A and B adjacent to SC, and ally C not adjacent to you nor SC. In this case, you cast Protective Roots and you, allies A and B all gain the effects (You because the target says you, and A and B because they are allies within the burst). That's just my take on it. Take it as an opinion since I'm no expert :) In this case, even though you and your SC are taking your move actions at the same time, I (personal opinion) would say no to this since in D&D nothing is truly happening at the same time. My personal [u]unofficial rule of thumb[/u] is that "When you take a movement action, as a free action your SC can move up to your speed." (thus separating the idea of it being simultaneous because its two action types, a move and a free, but still having the same effect.. just sequential). But all that is just my take on it - as said above, I am no expert, so take it just as an opinion. [/QUOTE]
