[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5467071, member: 71571"] I am not ignoring that powers have range and targeting requirements. Far from it, I'm acknowledging they do and that Polearm Gamble has to override them in order to work. HUGE DIFFERENCE It works because Polearm Gamble alters opportunity attacks so that it does. It names it by name, and creates a situation where the only way it CAN work is to alter OA. No amount of head-in-the-sand claiming 'NO IT DOESN'T LA LA LA' doesn't stop it from doing exactly this, and that's EXACTLY what you're trying to do. You're claiming it cannot work because it can't alter opportunity attack even tho it BLEEDING SAYS IT ALTERS OPPORTUNITY ATTACK. And, you even admit there's a contradiction, and the EXISTANCE of the contradiction is all that is required to kick SvG into gear and make it work. If you acknowledge the contradiction, you fire up SvG to make it work. If you do not, you are not properly applying SvG, which ALWAYS kicks in any time there's a contradiction between specific and general rules. It says it very succinctly. 'The specific rule always wins.' Polearm Gamble wins. You just haven't figured out how it wins yet. [/QUOTE]
