Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phesic" data-source="post: 4397311" data-attributes="member: 71223">Fair enough  I agree. Actually, the wording is:"Until the end of the encounter, you and each ally within 5 squares of you gain a power bonus to attack rolls against the target equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier."The key for me is the identical wording in:Warlords Feature "Combat leader" - "You and each ally within 10 squares who can see and hear you gain a +2 power bonus to initiative."Half Elf's "Group Diplomacy" - "You grant allies within 10 squares of you a +1 racial bonus to Diplomacy checks."Elf's "group awareness" -"You grant non-elf allies within 5 squares of you a +1 bonus to Perception checks."Are these pulses as well?  They aren't marked or listed as zones.  The wording is nearly identical to the the "Lead the Attack" power. I note that not ALL the zone powers use "While Within",  not even most of them.  Your basing all your opposition to the the word "While" not being in the description, when it's not in the description of most zones anyway.  I maintain that the power is clearly designating an aura.  You'll claim it's not because it doesn't say "Zone", I'll claim it is because it doesn't say "burst" and because it fits perfectly into the flavor of the warlord when you take into account something like "Combat Leader" which is clearly an aura.</blockquote>
