Thanks for the info, Eblue, and one rule question while I think about it : if a power negates all primary damage from an attack, does secondary effects still occur? i.e. If a flaming orb or equivalent is reduced to 0 HP damage or lower, does the 5 ongoing still occur? Same principle as the poison rule in earlier editions, I would imagine : if the sting doesn't bite skin, then, obviously, no poison damage. YMMV, of course.
Interesting question, and certainly one to think about. Some powers in the PHB have a "miss" feature that essentially tells you what happens if the dice aren't on your side for that roll. It's assumed, then, that if other powers do not have a miss effect, nothing happens. I think it's more of a RAI (rules as interpreted) than RAW (rules as written), but I will go with that. To be clear:
If a power or ability does not have a "miss" effect, and the power/ability misses, nothing happens. Otherwise, the miss effect occurs.
I've posted a mini-status update. What are you guys doing up?? Although, I guess I should ask myself that same question.
