The battery of attack bonus...Lance of Faith

[Stalker0]

I just realized something very interesting about lance of faith.

It says..."One ally you can see gains a +2 power bonus to his or her next attack roll against the target".

What's interesting is unlike the vast majority of powers out there, there is no clause that says it expires at the end of your next turn, nor does it require that the person's next attack roll be against the target....simply that the next attack roll against that target gets the bonus.

What that means is a party can use lance of faith to gain bonuses for later in the fight.

For example, a cleric can hit a creature, and give the fighter a +2 to an attack roll against that creature...but the fighter can use it whenever he feels like it, he's not forced to rush over and hit right at that moment.

Makes the power look a little cooler in my book.

That's very interesting .. will have to remember it.
Though I'm not going to see it in action anytime soon. The only clerics I play/play with are both battle clerics.

Problem is if they don't use it on their next attack roll then you or they are very likely to forget it by the time they do use it. Or someone else will kill it, or some other reason it will never be used.
