[QUOTE="Fede, post: 4645627, member: 81219"] The way i read it RAW, you make an attack against every enemy in burst 5. Every enemy hit takes damage, ongoing damage and triggers the "make a secondary attack" part of the hit line. Then, every time you sustain it you make a single secondary attack against one enemy that still has ongoing damage. Example: warpriest has 4 orcs in burst 5 radius. He uses Battle pyres. He rolls four attacks, hitting orc1, orc2 and orc3 and missing orc4. He rolls 2d8+wis radiant damage for orcs number 1, 2 and 3. Also, this 3 orcs receive ongoing radiant damage. The "make a secondary attack" part of the hit line is triggered 3 times, so he can make 3 secondary attacks to the 3 orcs that were hit. As i read it, he can make one attack against each of the orcs, or two attacks against one and one against another, or all three attacks against the same orc. In his subsequent rounds, as long as at least one of the orcs is still taking ongoing radiant damage, he can make a single secondary attack against one of those orcs that still haven't saved against ongoing damage. This is my reading from a strictly RAW point of view, and it looks overpowered to me. I'd think that the secondary attack should only be triggered once the round the power is used.
