Message: <blockquote data-quote="DreamChaser" data-source="post: 5069778" data-attributes="member: 1190">Target is specifically defined and it is part of each power's description.Let's say, for argument, there was a power that dealt damage and had the effect of "If the target is affected by a warlock's curse and this power drops the target to zero hit points, then the warlock gains the benefit of two creatures dropping rather than one."This power has an effect that explicily benefits the warlock; however, it would be difficult to argue that the warlock is a target of the power.The healing from Astral Seal is this sort of effect: Any ally no matter where they were when the power was used (heck, they could have been in another dimension or not yet summoned) can take advantage of the benefit. But, clearly, the power that generated the benefit was never used on them.Another analog is Wall of Fire: It has no target but any creature can be affected by it. A feat that granted a bonus when you use a fire power on a creature would not trigger for everyone that happened to wander near the wall because the power isn't targeted on those who wander near it.DCps...it amazes me sometimes that CustServ is still brought into discussions here...not an attack...just a comment on the overall attitude of these boards toward...poor research commonly conducted by the hard-working folks over there at Wizards</blockquote>
