Since you're not the only one...For example: Hunger Frenzy (Standard, at-will) The bloodwind makes a bite attack and two claw attacks. The claw attacks must target two different enemies..   Flensing Teeth (Standard, at-will) The dracolich makes a bite attack against each of two different targets.+9 vs ; 2d6+5 damage..   Dragonborn Wrath (Standard, at-will) <img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/symbol/x.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> WeaponRequires greatsword; the annihilator makes two greatsword attacks, each against a different target.; +34 vs ; 3d8+10 damage..   Battle Surge (Standard, at-will) <img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/symbol/x.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> WeaponRequires greatsword; +14 vs Armor Class; (+15 while bloodied)1d10+6 damage, and the exemplar makes a secondary attack against a different target. And that's the first 4 of _139_ creatures in the compendium that hit my search for 'different target', so there are lots more that specifically hit 'two targets' or 'three targets' Like this one: Blast of Cold (Minor, at-will) <img src="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/images/symbol/x.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /> ColdRanged 10 from frost gem; two targets; +4 vs Reflex; 2d8+1 cold damage. This attack does not provoke opportunity attacks.Again, only if you assume the people designing the monsters realized monsters worked that way. Obviously, you do, but I'm a lot more dubious. Ditto on PC powers like Icy Rays, Eldritch Rain, Split the Tree. Split the Tree is a particularly curious instance with the way it handles its attack rolls.For those encouraging a creature to just make all of its attacks against someone other than the defender, it's worth note that because of Shield Push, Ensnaring Swordmages, Eldritch Strike, etc it's entirely possible that doing so would be a very bad idea since it could move the monster away from its target entirely so it can't successfully make the rest of its attacks.</blockquote>
