[QUOTE="LostInTheMists, post: 4177121, member: 61129"] [b]Lead the Attack ambiguity...[/b] So far, I like what I'm seeing with the Warlord, but one of my personal pet peeves has reared its ugly head again... wording ambiguity. On the Tactical Warlord's daily power, "Lead the Attack", it reads like this: [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Lead the Attack Warlord Attack 1[/B][I] Under your direction, arrows hit their marks and blades drive home.[/I] [B]Daily - Martial, Weapon[/B] [B]Standard Action Melee[/B] - weapon [B]Target:[/B] One creature [B]Attack:[/B] Strength vs. AC [B]Hit:[/B] 3[W] + Strength modifier damage. [B]Until the end of the encounter, you and each ally within 5 squares of you [/B] gain a power bonus to attack rolls against the target equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier. [B]Miss:[/B] [B]Until the end of the encounter, you and each ally within 5 squares of you [/B] gain a +1 power bonus to attack rolls against the target.[/COLOR] The emphasis in the Hit and Miss entries is mine. Does this mean: :1: Any ally who is standing within 5 squares of the warlord at the time this power is used gains the bonus until the end of the encounter, regardless of where they move to afterward (for example, an eladrin ranger standing near the warlord gets the bonus, then [I]fey steps [/I] across the room to get a better archery position on the target)? :2: After this power is used, any ally that makes an attack while standing within 5 squares of the warlord gets the bonus until the end of the encounter, regardless of where they were when the power was actually utilized (for example, an eladrin ranger who was engaging other enemies sees the warlord across the room use this power on a black dragon, so he [I]fey steps[/I] nearby to aid in the fight, gaining this bonus since he's now within 5 squares of the warlord)? :3: Something else?
