[QUOTE="Colmarr, post: 4180976, member: 59182"] I noticed this too, but there is a potential issue here in that the power can retrospectively affect the outcome of an attack that's already been made [I]and resolved[/I]. Eg. 1 Warpriest in combat with orc. Standard action: Warpriest attacks orc 1. Reduces it to 3 hp. Move action: Warpriest moves to orc 2, taking a OA and 10hp damage from orc 1. Action Point: Warpriest uses an action point to attack orc 2. As soon as he spends the action point, orc 1 keels over and dies. Or even worse: Eg. 2 Warpriest fighting an orc. Move action: Warpriest moves into melee with orc. Standard action: Warpriest attacks orc 1. Reduces it to 3 hp. Action Point: Warpriest uses his action point to take an extra action. Orc keels over. The Warpriest is left with no other targets. Eg. 3 Warpriest fighting orc. Standard Action: Warpriest uses Cascade of light. Reduces orc to 10hp. Makes it vulnerable radiant 5. Action Point: Warpriest does something. Orc takes 5 points of extra damage from the Cascade of Light. The ability is radiant and the ork is now vulnerable 5 to radiant damage so it takes a total of 10 damage. The orc dies. It can be explained as blood loss, shock, etc but it still seems like a wonky rule to me... [/QUOTE]
