Ghost Sound & Opportunity Attacks

[hipnotode]

my question is, does Ghost Sound (and other cantrips) provoke Opportunity Attacks?

i have always just presumed no because there not an attack, but then i read the Trickster's Mark feat (bold added for emphasis):

TRICKSTER'S MARK
Prerequisite: Gnome, fighter
Benefit: As a minor action, you can expend the use of ghost sound granted by your Master Trickster racial trait to mark one enemy within 10 squares of you until the end of your next turn. This use of ghost sound does not provoke opportunity attacks.[/b[

it seams to imply that Ghost Sound provokes Opportunity Attacks. i looked on the updates archive and the martial power 2 pdf has no errata for the feat. has anyone got any thoughts on the matter?

Ranged and Area Powers Provoke: If an enemy adjacent to you uses a ranged power or an area power, you can make an opportunity attack against that enemy.

Ghost sound is ranged 10.

RAW it provokes.

okay.
i thought it was just attack powers. that means that using powers like healing word provoke too...

 

[OSEZNO]

No, healing word is a Close Burst power, which does not provoke.

 

[hipnotode]

okay that makes alot more sense.
