[QUOTE="xCruelx, post: 4559739, member: 62320"] This is why i specifically seperated the two discussions. and probably shouldnt have gone into detail with the warlords fervor thing. They have nothing to do with each other First this thread was discussing flaming sphere provoking opportunity attacks. Thats a question that needs to be defined and answered, my attempt at accurately defineing the base question would be something like [I]"does an effect granted by a ranged power which gives the wizard the ability to make ongoing attacks as a standard action during successive turns, include in the attack, by inheritance, the ranged keyword thus provoking an OA[/I]" which ive stated my opinion on, i believe it does. As to the other question [I]"Does an ongoing passive damage effect resulting from a zone created by a wizard power benifit from bonus's that trigger only when the wizard makes an attack (or attack roll)"[/I] To the first question, I answer yes. because the wizard is spending a standard action to make an attack with a ranged power. He is provoking. as to the second question, it is unrelated to the first. The answer could be yes, or it could be no. Attacks may be defined differently than attack rolls, (as game terms) or they may be identical or interchangeable. I have an opinion on that too... which ive shared above, but again, its a different rule issue. they break down as two completley different scenarios, First one, the wizard is doing something. Literally making an attack using an action etc etc. In the second scenario, the wizard is doing nothing, hes not attacking, hes not maintaining, sustaining, retraining, feigning, faking, hes not even choosing NOT to attack, hes not making any choices, hes not provoking, or choosing not to provoke... he doesnt even have to be there anymore. he is Irrelevant to the situation, the situation is a damage effect caused by a zone that is represented in game terms by an "attack roll" .... whether or not that <edit>attack roll/damage</edit> is effected by the zone creators modifiers, is a different thread. ;) [/QUOTE]
