[QUOTE="Danceofmasks, post: 5067740, member: 70765"] There are corner cases when it does matter, though. Such as a rageblood barbarian/wildrunner using a close burst 1 attack. In the same party as a bard with a ranged weapon. 3 enemies in a line, with a boss right behind them. Barbarian walks up to the line and swings with a close burst 1. First attack is deliberately rolled vs the guy in the middle of line. Misses by a mile. Bard chimes in and replaces attack roll with Rewrite the Future (which was used recently). Bam. Surprise, it's a crit. We already knew it was gonna happen. Barbarian plays Press the Attack and Rampage as free actions, to shift into the square the fallen enemy was standing in, and smack the boss. Misses by 3. Bard chimes in with Rhyme of the Blood Seeking Blade, pegs the boss, which also turns the Barbarian's rampage attack into a hit. Barbarian activates the daily power on his lightning weapon, to zap all those enemies for a little bit extra. The boss reacts by pushing the barbarian 2. Check to see if the rest of the close burst 1 attacks are still valid (in this particular case, they still are). Resolve the attack vs. the unbloodied guy first. Resolve the final attack. But wait! That guy just dropped. Barbarian plays swift charge, uses howling strike, and the boss dies. [/QUOTE]
