[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 4558949, member: 478"] Aren't you the one that calls for RAW and now argues with colloquial use of language? ;) :p :lol: No, it does not. Using the power is "activating" it. EDIT: Oops, just noticed that this thread has more than one page already. :o Anyways, FWIW... Page 290 under "Opportunity Attack" specifies what provokes... the only item there that [i]might[/i] come into play is "using a ranged or area power". Page 292 under "Use a Power" doesn't really help, so what does "use a power" mean? Page 56 under "Action Type" clearly specifies what "use" means in this context by connecting it with the initial action used to activate a power. Page 59 under "Sustain" refers to "Durations" on page 278. page 278 under "Durations" says nothing about sustaining and provoking OAs, therefore no OA is provoked. Also, the term "use a power" is never used in context of sustaining a power. Use a Power is activating the power. Sustaining a Power is continuing to have it take effect. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
