[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 4402525, member: 1656"] I'd say that in this case, something between me and the intended point of origin of the spell prevented the paladin from ever being a target. There was no burst, therefore there were no creatures in the burst, therefore the power had no targets... because the targets of the power are "Each creature in burst". If I had line of effect to the point of origin, but the wall was between the point of origin and the paladin, I don't think there'd be any argument that the paladin is not a target of the spell, right? The diagram on p281 shows that the figure behind the wall is not in the area of the burst... the burst covers the blue squares, and the square he's in is not blue. When there's no line of effect from me to the intended point of origin of the Fireball, [i]no[/i] squares will be blue. No creatures will be targets of the power. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
