[QUOTE="Bacris, post: 4045365, member: 42502"] Here's my reading on it: Given that the power requires a primary target, but not a secondary target, and given that the primary target can only change if, and only if, a target is reduced to less than 0 hit points, or completely negates the effect through a special ability or power, then the simple act of moving out of range of the power by the primary target disrupts the power, since the range of the power to the primary target is now broken and the sequence of events needed to change the primary target has not come to pass. If a secondary target moved out of range and returned back into range, then they would again be affected. If the secondary target moved out of range and the primary target dropped, and no other foes were in range, the power would also end. If the power REQUIRED both targets to be in range, then it would be another can of worms, but the secondary target is optional (it can happen AFTER the power starts, but during the duration if someone moves in range), while the primary target is mandatory. At least, that's my interpretation. [/QUOTE]
