[QUOTE="MarkChevallier, post: 4274500, member: 55538"] Hey, it's your game: your decisions apply (and I can see your logic)! It's not really the point of my original post, but for what it's worth the rules seem ambiguous on this. It says for ranged [number] that it "can be used on a target within the indicated number of squares". The nub of any point of debate would dwell on if "used" included "sustained" (you don't need to target something to sustain a power, which would go against this view), or simply meant "activated". This is very much a side point, though. I would say though that the nub of the problem is that a combination of two abilities (that are in no way in competition with each other or an unusual choice) allows you to lay a lockdown and death on any one target with *one* die roll. Save and die was meant to vanish from this edition - I think it's clear that the design intent of the Seal of Binding power was not to allow it back in. But unfortunately, it has, in combination with high-regen. [/QUOTE]
