[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4951968, member: 71571"] Provided the player has information that could allow him to reasonably guess a target is in that square, during the process of attacking said target, yes he could. Again, the rule is not 'You may attack any square' and it doesn't say that, and has never said that. It is 'You may guess a square that the target is in based on information.' followed by 'If you guess wrong, you miss the target, but you are not informed if it is because the target was not in the square or if you failed the roll.' Guessing a target's is not the same as hitting any square you want ever. And the attacking the square specificly mentions a miss. Missing a target can have an effect--so a Swordmage, for example, should -not- be allowed to use his Reliable power that has the effect of expanding his critical range on the air just to get the Crit Range for free every time he goes travelling. And stop pretending it is this way. And it doesn't mean 'Attack the air.' It means 'Attack the air, if and only if the DM considers the air an object, and if, and only if, the DM allows it.' Totally different scenario. [/QUOTE]
