Does the term "a creature" include yourself?

[QUOTE="Shikami, post: 5445705, member: 6669047"] I think I have explained it well enough governing typed text, time, and whatever can allow me to do so. But rather than break down my posts ask questions concerning the terms, definition, or rules. Play devil's advocate, perhaps. I think this will help you all understand the powers resolution and actually respect the powers a lot more. For example, Commander's Strike is a very powerful at will. There is no action that is used for the ally against the target when he makes the melee basic attack. Meaning no action to account, no interrupt takes place even. The ally gets to make an MBA against target. If the warlord spends an action point, he can cause the same affect, again. If the ally had to spend a free action, it would not be possible. He would have to have another ally to attack. The rules are logical. Others will argue that an unconscious ally can attack because of how this power resolution reads. However, the ally with that condition has no line of effect for MBA. It would be a waste, because the warlord can do it. However, to make a melee basic attack the ally needs line of effect. So it is wasted. The rules are very simple not complex as it can be made out to be. The defined terms, and semantics are there. Just look for them. [/QUOTE]
