And I hope the rules aren't as stuffy about what constitutes an attack as you imply. The power says simply "The next time the ally would make an attack roll for that power during this encounter, he must instead use the rolled result. If the power has multiple targets or attack rolls, only the first roll is replaced."  While I agree that the text as written would prevent re-rolls such as Elven Accuracy, I think the bolded text preserves things like the Oath class feature and Ranger powers like Split the Tree. As for powers that grant bonuses (as opposed to re-rolls), I don't see how they come into it at all. Look skyward determines the result of your die roll. There's nothing there that prevents you adding combat advantage or any other circumstantial bonus, regardless of whether it is power-based or not. Having said all that, the fact that we are having the discussion at all is evidence that misunderstanding is possible. Perhaps re-word as: PS. It's no doubt discussions like this that make writing for RPGs a professional's game. The intent behind the power is abundantly clear, and anyone trying to raise the "it's not an attack roll" argument at an actual table should IMO be soundly beaten.</blockquote>
