How would you write Curse of the Bloody Fangs to make sense?

[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4395244, member: 65726"] When there is an Effect, the use of Sustain is pretty clear. When there isn't an Effect, there are several cases: 1. The Sustain specifically says it works on hit or miss. This I believe is redundant text (that probably would have been good to include with every other sustain it applies to). There is only one such power: [I]Curse of the Dark Dream[/I] 2. The Sustain is indented under a Hit entry. This means the power can only be sustained if you hit. Very clear. There are three such powers: [I]Battle Pyres[/I] [I]Radiant Pulse[/I] [I]Hurl through Hell[/I] 3. The Sustain is not indented, but it still says the power works only on a hit. This is an unfortunate case (and I believe is an error). It should simply have been indented (it's even before the Miss text): [I]Otiluke's Resilient Sphere[/I] 4. The Sustain doesn't specify if it works on a hit or miss. In these cases, I'm tempted to treat it as an effect, because if it were meant to work only on a hit, it should be indented under Hit. Examples: [I]Seal of Binding[/I] [I]Garrote Grip[/I] [I]Crown of Madness[/I] [I]Curse of the Bloody Fangs[/I] [I]Summons of Khirad[/I] [I]Thief of Five Fates[/I] [I]Curse of the Golden Mist[/I] [I]Fireswarm[/I] [I]Thirsting Maw[/I] [I]Delusions of Loyalty[/I] [I]Curse of the Dark Delirium[/I] [I]Doom of Delban[/I] [I]Victory Surge[/I] ---------------------------------------------------- Now on to the separate issue of when a target is eligible for a save. Until I decide to Sustain a power, there really is no save to be made. Afterall, I might decide not to Sustain the power at all. The text underneath Sustain hasn't come into play yet. I haven't taken that action. Only when I take that action, say spend a Minor action to Sustain, then the text comes into play, and the enemy has to start making saves. [/QUOTE]
