[QUOTE="Larrin, post: 7630374, member: 55816"] Yes it will provoke, which would mean powers that require attacking the same target or within reach will be notably worse than ones that allow one or two targets anywhere. I don't think being within reach is a necessary requirement, unless the power already states only one target. Having your beast wander away from you is a risk, so having some reward on twin strike with a beast 8 squares a way is sort of balanced. Still there are going to be a number of powers that want you to attack the same target with multiple attacks. This is one of the things that will keep a beastmaster's power level lower than a TWF ranger and why a good ranged weapon or a reach weapon might be a beast masters desire. I think ways around this are powers that let you or your beast shift (or move without OA) before or between attacks, utility powers that allow for both of you to move/shift safely, or just making sure you keep track of where you and your beast are getting to.
