[QUOTE="kerbarian, post: 5078236, member: 40393"] This seems pretty ridiculous... I'm trying to see if there's actually anything wrong with the interpretation. Charm of Misplaced Wrath (wizard encounter 1) has the effect: [indent]The target is dazed until the end of your next turn. You slide the target 3 squares. The target then attacks a creature of your choice with a basic attack. It gains a bonus to its attack roll and damage roll equal to your implement’s enhancement bonus.[/indent] An artillery monster (which has a ranged basic attack) is marked by a fighter. A wizard casts Charm of Misplaced Wrath on it, slides it next to the fighter, and tells it to make its ranged basic attack against itself. It then suffers three attacks: 1) The fighter's opportunity attack, since it's making a ranged attack. 2) The fighter's combat challenge attack, since it's making an attack that doesn't include the fighter. 3) The attack against itself, with the implement enhancement (and -2 for marked, +2 for CA from dazed). Some possible issues: Can a creature attack itself? With a bow? Does the wizard get to decide which basic attack the creature uses? My guess here is that if the wizard tells it to target one of its allies at range, it would have to use its ranged basic (provoking OAs), but for a target within melee range, it could choose its melee basic.
