[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 2978778, member: 9789"] Ah, that's a good point, and I see what you're saying. I still don't interpret it that way, however, because it is unlike most other "attack" precedents, in which an effect is resolved at the end of the individual attack action and not at the end of the attack sequence / round, which is what I believe you are saying. Your way might imply that you couldn't even apply your shocking grasp damage until you made sure you were finished making any AoOs that round as well, since you must wait until all hits are resolved for the entire round to see who is affected, and I do believe that AoOs are included in "each target you hit in melee combat that round." (In fact, you could conceivably run into the situation of being hit later in the round by the enemy you were trying to shock who would not have actually been up because you were waiting to apply the shocking grasp damage until all possible attacks by you were resolved.) Edit: Oh, and to the OP: yes, I agree that having something on the order of 11 shocking grasps at level 13 that can be delivered potentially three (or more with AoOs) times to a single target is extremely powerful. However, so are level 7 spells like [I]finger of death[/I] and [I]mass hold person[/I], which a full wizard could (theoretically) do at the same level. [/QUOTE]
