Message: <blockquote data-quote="MindWright" data-source="post: 4181587" data-attributes="member: 10194">Extra Damage Action and Order of ActionsWhy are you assuming the action point needs to be spent on the second standard action you take in a turn? The player can decide what order to take their actions in right?So instead of:You get:Action Point: Warpriest attacks orc 1. Orc 1 keels over and dies.Move action: Warpriest moves to orc 2 without penalty.Standard Action: Warpriest attacks orc 2.Instead of:You get:Move action: Warpriest moves into melee with orc.Action Point: Warpriest attacks orc. Orc keels over and dies.Warpriest still has a Standard and a Minor action available, and the standard action can be taken as a move if desired. If you attack with the standard action you get the bonus damage.The only one that is an issue is this one:The problem is that the orc doesn't take damage from Cascade of Light twice, only once.If you use the action point for the Cascade of Light you get the bonus from your Extra Damage Action ability, but you don't inflict damage a second time to take advantage of the vulnerability, at least not yet.So I think it goes:Action Point: Warpriest uses Cascade of Light. Reduces orc to 5hp. Makes it vulnerable radiant 5.Free Action: Power of the Amaunator, Cascade of Light deals an additional 1d10 damage, on a roll of 5+ the orc dies. You still don't get the bonus vulnerability damage because this power adds to the damage of Cascade of Light it doesn't create new radiant damage.The Warpriest still has a move, a standard action, and a minor action available. If he uses the standard action to inflict radiant damage on the orc, it will die.I'm not sure why you are assuming the action point has to be spent on the last action, with this power spending it on the first action makes much more sense.</blockquote>
