[QUOTE="scadgrad, post: 221866, member: 766"] Hey Gang, Just thought I'd get some of your opinions on this one. The problem I'm having with the spell Confusion is what exactly constitutes an attack. Now here's the scenario: Fighter gets hit with Confusion spell fails save & results in a "do nothing for 1 round." So then the enemy spellcaster smacks him (and several other PCs for that matter) with say a Fireball. The dilemma here lies within the spell description which states "Any confused creature who is attacked automatically attacks its attackers on its next turn." Does that mean the Fighter charges (or moves and attacks)the enemy spellcaster? I interpretted the phrase "attacked" as being targeted by an Attack Action and NOT spellcasting. My player argued that having a spell cast at you was nothing if not an attack. We went with my definition (under protest of course) for the time being. So what does everyone think? Any official clarification on this one? Opinions would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
