[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7464752, member: 996"] No one should have to. Factually false is factually false. No Pre-Essentials power created an aura, the power you're alluding to, Rain of Steel, was not an aura or a Zone - Dispel Magic would have had no effect on it. Anyone with stealth could gain the invisible tag. It just means you can't be seen, not that light is magically passing through you. He didn't have to actually say a word, 'verbal components' were an implement thang, C&GI was a weapon power. You're confusing fluff with rules, the former is just an example, so it's up to the player to choose a fluff description that works for his vision of the character. Or a different power, if he doesn't feel the mechanics fit whatcha wants his character to be able to do... Factually false* again, Oofta, if you used a thrown weapon to attack more than one creature, you needed at least one weapon per target - or a magical thrown weapon. 'Martial Exploits,' actually. Only arcane powers were officially spells, though any PC power that wasn't martial or downright mundane was likely supernatural. * If anyone's wondering about this odd phrasing, it's an artifact if the CoC, under which lying - even to the point if legal slander/libel, is OK, but calling someone who repeatedly says something that us provably false 'a liar' is just impolite. So I am politely pointing out that, after some 10 years Oofta has perhaps come to miss-remember the minutiae of weapon-keyword powers and weapon qualities and magic weapons and how all those apply to the rather over-the-top Rogue exploit, 'Blinding Barrage." Just like everything else in that last post. [/QUOTE]
