[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4628774, member: 65726"] I'd rule yes. Under durations, it says starting on the turn after you create an effect, you sustain the effect by taking the indicated action. So the turn you create the effect, you can't sustain it. Thereafter, it doesn't matter what else you did during your turn, when you sustain the power, if the hand has a grabbed opponent, you deal the damage. I'm not buying the "the standard action is listed under sustain" excuse. Where else would it be listed? Question is, can the same target be another target? I'm inclined to say no, but it is a bit fuzzy. If it said "you may attack a different target" it would have been quite clear. DM: Pick a number. DB: 5. DM: Pick another number. DB: 5. DM: That's the same number. DB: You didn't tell me to pick a different number... [/QUOTE]
