[QUOTE="hvg3akaek, post: 5584702, member: 71190"] Indeed! :) However: as has been said, many of us are DMs, how should [I]we[/I] adjudicate it? hence, discussion ;) You seem to have neatly dodged my comment ;) [URL="http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/power.aspx?id=12765"]Delayed Blast Fireball[/URL] You use the power (minor action). How do you actually fire it? You can't use the secondary power, else that would be using the power again, and you've already said that's not possible. Or does the power then create other powers? Remember: exception based. Normally, using is indeed all you do with a power. but in this case, you have to use the power again (in it's second power form) to actually attack. And then, the power is no longer a personal power, it is an Area burst power, which provokes. but - we've already used it, and it didn't provoke! Oh noes, what happens? ;) So, once again - some powers have further parts that should still provoke OAs. It is not, as you have suggested, a nice black-and-white situation, and it is, as Matt James has suggested, left up to the DM to decide. When I'm a DM, DBF will provoke when someone attacks with it. When I'm using the power, I will expect it to provoke, too. And indeed, if sustaining a spell causes more attacks, there may well be cause for that to provoke, too. I'll see when it happens. [/QUOTE]
