[QUOTE="MrMyth, post: 5036175, member: 61155"] I don't think the terminology used for most other powers is comparable. The problem is that this power has a two-fold ignition for the duration - when you hit with the power, and when the opponent starts their turn adjacent to you. Does "it's next turn" refer to the turn following it being hit, or the turn following it starting next to you? If you can actually find other powers with similar complexities, feel free to bring them forward. (I suspect there are a few similar situations out there, honestly.) But there aren't "tons" of powers which this could be compared to. Note that in the quote you list, there is only one time-frame the "end of your next turn" can be compared to - when the power is used. Thus, it is easy to figure out that it ends on the following turn. That is a very different situation from the rules question at hand... For myself, I'd rule that it only lasts one turn, taking both instances of "it's next turn" to refer to the same turn, rather than successive ones. But I'm not going to complain that is the only way to read it - I don't think there [I]is[/I] any absolutely correct interpretation until it sees some errata or other clarification. [/QUOTE]
