Message: <blockquote data-quote="MaximumHavoc" data-source="post: 4945312" data-attributes="member: 82231">to be precise:"unless a power description notes otherwise, a close burst you create does not affect you. however, an area burst you create does affect you."  PHB 272so, in this case--a close burst--the caster would not be affected, but anyone else who happens to be in the origin square would be affected.i found no rules dictating whether--and if so, when exactly--a burst or blast changes mechanically into a zone.  if it does not change mechanically, then i assume that the same rules regarding bursts and blasts persist.  in this case, the caster would be unaffected by the effects of the creeping doom zone.similar to the con-based shaman, i imagine that the swarm druid likely will need to take the chain proficiency feat.</blockquote>
