[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5622490, member: 807"] In general, sure, you can (barring the [I]Bag of Rats[/I] situation). However, specifically with regards to the dominated status, i can't help but think of a specific line in the rules compendium (p230-231) (small excerpt) "If the dominator tries to force the creature to throw itself into a pit or move into some form of hindering terrain, the creature gets a saving throw to resist entering the terrain" While this makes no mention of targeting ones self with an attack, I don't think it is unreasonable to say if you're going to get a save for "entering hindering terrain," it is not a stretch to say you should get a save for what would be even worse than that: self-inflicted injury. edit: Though I think I'd have to actually look at it on a case by case basis to see what the actual interaction was and why since it sounds like a "gimmick" akin to bag of rats that would annoy me and my delicate sensibilities. As an addendum, the creature being attacked must be a valid target type. So, specifically if you are using a burst centered on yourself but the burst targets 'enemies in burst' you don't count as your own enemy (nor your own ally for that matter). [/QUOTE]
