[QUOTE="SuperGnome, post: 4386597, member: 17297"] Hiya, Did some googgling (don't see the search function here after the rebuild) and didn't really find anything. I read it and a few different things come to mind. 1.) One is all adjacent enemies suffer 1[w] (more if you get extra OA's) for that single round. This damage happens at the start of those creatures' turns. 2.) As long as you're not stunned or something, anyone who started their round takes 1[w] damage at the beginning of their turn. 2a.) This lasts the entire encounter. 2b.) This happens just this one time. It says "starts" its turn, not "started", so it seems the damage would be applied at the beginning of it's turn after you used the ability. It also says "as long as you are able" to make OA's. Assuming you don't get stunned or something, you can make your OA's. It all depends on the duration then, and that just doesn't seem clear to me. It could also mean the ability only applies to baddies who are adjacent to you once the ability is used, and anyone else starting their turn next to you later wouldnt' be affected. If that were the case, could the affected baddies shift out to end the effect, then move back in another round? The most likely would seem that you use Rain of Steel on your turn. You have 3 baddies adjacent to you. Assuming nobody gets push/pull/slid before the start of their turn, each of those 3 would simply take the 1[w] and that's the end of it. You were just swinging your weapon around. If you have the ability to have multiple OA's on something's turn, it takes x[w] damage. After the affected take their damage, Rain of Steel is done. I hope I'm making sense here... if not, ignore this and explain what exaclty RoS does. *8) Thanks in advance... [/QUOTE]
