[QUOTE="BattleAxe, post: 4391630, member: 500"] hi guys, I was hoping I could get your opinions on a situation I had occuring yesterday in a game. I was running a newish group through the Kobold Hall dungeon in the DMG and it came to the Big Boss fight. The Rogue got next to the wyrmpriest guy and used Riposte Strike and hit. The Wyrmpriest on his turn, used his shifty ability to get away from the rogue and went to blast him with his energy orb. Now what happens here - the text of Riposte strike simply states that the rogue can interrupt with an attack against the wyrmpriest if he attacks him (which he did) - no mention of melee only. The Riposte strike is a melee power, but the Hit effect doesn't state explictly that the attack that triggers it must be melee. which is a bit of a conundrum. In the end for speed of resolution, I ruled that as the rogue had a dagger equipped he could throw it - but I'm not too sure now how this should be acted out. Am I missing something - or this is another DM adjudication rule. I'd appreciate some advice from those wiser in these things than I :) Cheers 'Axe [/QUOTE]
