[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 4656423, member: 12731"] I sense that all of you are assuming you must use Elven Accuracy (or not) right when you roll the dice. The power doesn't say anything of the sort: [i]Elven Accuracy Encounter Free Action Personal Effect: Reroll an attack roll. Use the second roll, even if it’s lower.[/i] I can only conclude you can make a twin strike (both attacks), then shift, draw a potion, mark a new Quarry or anything else really. Then (while its still your turn, assuming you can take free actions on your turn only, and dismissing the possibility that the power might allow you a re-roll of an attack three rounds ago) you can invoke Elven Accuracy as a free action, and re-roll one attack. Presumably you'd choose one that missed, but that's up to you. In fact, I can't see that you're required to still reach the foe for which you're re-rolling the attack. Yes, this is sloppy.
