[QUOTE="jaelis, post: 4444986, member: 60210"] But it's not very good. It says "The target of commander’s strike must be within melee reach of both the warlord and the chosen ally who will make the basic melee attack." But of course, the target of the power [U]is[/U] the ally (based on the power description). So really that sentence doesn't make any sense under scrutiny. It does at least say how it is supposed to work, but it opens other questions... should the enemy be considered the target of the power for all purposes? (Like would the warlord's feat bonuses apply?) It seems to me a literal reading would be that the ally has to be in melee range of the warlord, and the enemy in melee range of the ally. Edit- I should add though, that I'm working off memory, since the compendium seems to be down (at least for me.) So I might be full of ****. (Yes, I might be full of asterisks.) [/QUOTE]
