[QUOTE="Diirk, post: 4936984, member: 14476"] Ironically, the rules on page 57 actually seem to suggest that if taken literally. "When a power’s target entry specifies that it affects you and one or more of your allies, then you can take advantage of the power’s effect along with your teammates.", the implication being that if the target line doesn't include 'you', then you can't take advantage of the power's effects. I agree it doesn't work like that tho, the effect line can override the target line. I'm not sure I understand your argument tho, or what it has to do with targetting. Going back and re-reading various things tho I'd have to say your interpretation is the more correct. While I don't feel that "target" is properly defined, "target of a power" is, and thats what the sorcerer sources tend to refer to for resistance penetration. This still causes issues with things like Dragonflame Mantle tho, which doesn't have a target line (as it affects everyone that hits you that round, not just the enemy that triggered it), and interestingly while Blackfire Serpent works, the attacks granted by Wyrm Form (for example) don't actually have a target line at all in the rules compendium !
