[QUOTE="MyISPHatesENWorld, post: 4622570, member: 65684"] Knock yourself out. Good try, but the proper formatting is the formatting of the power as it is written in the PHB, as opposed to the formatting of the quoted section of text in this thread. By leaving the formatting as it is in the PHB, it places the secondary attack as a result of a hit, resulting in a maximum of four attacks. It reads the way it reads, not the way I want it to. People with a command of the english language should understand the"How to Read a Power" section in the PHB. "Every power includes a "Hit" entry, which explains what happens when an attack roll succeeds." This entire section is part of the "Hit" entry, as indicated in the PHB by the formatting: "Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage. Weapon: If you're wielding a light blade, spear, or flail and have Dexterity 15 or higher, make a secondary attack. Secondary Target: The same or a different target Secondary Attack: Strength vs. AC Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage." Sorry, but you're wrong. There is no way to read that power, as written in the PHB, and read and understand the "How to Read a Power" section of the PHB, and get that answer without ignoring or missing the formatting. Unless, of course, you're deliberately misreading it to get the answer you want, or are just claiming to because you like to argue on the Internet. And, as an aside, your usage of the phrase, "as an aside" indicates that your command (of the english language) has deserted. As written, the power allows two attacks. Each attack hits for 1[W]+STR damage and allows a secondary attack if you are wielding certain weapons. That is a maximum of four attacks. That is how the power reads. I have no houseruled version. Unless you're one of the designers, you don't know the intent. Do you want to post something substantive to back your post, like a quote from a designer, or even a link to a conflicting Customer Service response? I've seen people claim there is a conflicting customer service response, and if so, I'd like to see it. [/QUOTE]
