Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shin Okada" data-source="post: 4916129" data-attributes="member: 1956">"Attack" and "Power" are completely different concepts.A Power may include several attacks as part of it.There are 4 types of attacks in 4e. Melee, Ranged, Close & Area.Melee and Ranged attacks are done against single creature.Close and Area attacks may target multiple creatures simultaneously.Divine Challenge and Divine Sanction rules refer to "Attack", not "Power".So, yes, in that case the Arbalester will damaged by Divine Sanction because it made an attack which does not include your Paladin as a target.Edit: The above statement regarding Melee/Ranged attack is wrong. Some times, a Melee/Ranged attack may target multiple targets at once. In that case if one of the target is the Paladin, the creature does not suffer radiant damage.In this case, the Arbalester is not targeting multiple targets with one ranged attack, but attacking twice. So, whether if the attack included the Paladin as a target or not should be checked for each of those attacks.</blockquote>
