[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9216736, member: 42582"] I've got no idea what you're talking about here. Rogue 25th level Daily "Biting Assault": [indent][b]Melee[/b] or [b]Ranged[/b] weapon [b]Requirement[/b] You must be wielding a crossbow, a light blade, or a sling. [b]Target:[/b] One creature [b]Attack:[/b] Dexterity vs Fortitude [b]Hit:[/b] 3[W] + Dexterity modifier damage, and the target takes ongoing 10 damage and is weakened (save ends both) [b]Miss:[/b] Half damage, and the target takes 10 ongoing damage[/indent] This is an attack the involves the attack pounding the living daylights out of the target, regardless of their armour. Either way, the target is set back and suffers ongoing damage, whether that be bleeding or the reverberating effects of the pounding. On a successful, but not a failed, attack roll the pounding is so brutal that the foe is also weakened. What helps a target resist this pounding is their fortitude. Wizard 29th level Daily "Greater Ice Storm": [indent][b]Area[/b] burst 5 within 20 squares [b]Target:[/b] Each creature in burst [b]Attack:[/b] Intelligence vs Fortitude [b]Hit:[/b] 4d8 + Intelligence modifier cold damage, and the target is immobilized (save ends) [b]Miss:[/b] Half damage, and the target is slowed (save ends) [b]Effect:[/b] The burst creates a zone of ice. The zone is difficult terrain until the end of the encounter or for 5 minutes.[/indent] This is an attack that conjures an ice storm. The storm is so fierce that anyone caught in it is chilled, perhaps severely, and slowed or (if the attack roll is a hit) unable to move at all. Armour provides no protection against this ice storm; only sheer fortitude does so. Your notion of "different operation" has no purchase that I can see. [/QUOTE]
