Everything is an attack!

[Kzach]

It just occurred to me as I was glancing at a picture in the PHB that showed a wizard or warlock flinging some sort of electrical or arcane bolt at some masonry and blowing it apart that everything is an attack now.

Umm... cool!

Think about it. The chandelier above the approaching goblin reinforcements can be aimed at by anyone and dropped on top of them!

Ok, lame example, but you get what I mean. No more, "Magic Missile can't be targeted at objects!"

I can foresee some very interesting combats ahead

My first session, I used Spilt the Tree to shoot an elite and the chain of the chandelier above it. Fairly entertaining, I must say.

That depends on whether the "Target: One creature" of Magic Missile and many other powers makes it possible to target objects or just creatures.

Yep. I don't know myself yet whether which powers can target objects and which can't. (so much to read!)
