[QUOTE="Diplomat123, post: 4896854, member: 45627"] I would like to challenge my party with an encounter where they have to be a little more careful than usual with their blast and burst powers. I am thinking of having a group of bad guys kidnap some NPCs that need saving. The party will be facing a mixed group of enemies trying to kill them and kidnap victims who are either stationary or running around like headless chickens, but who will definitely not be their allies. A lot of area powers target all creatures - no problem, that will clearly effect everyone. A lot target all enemies. PHB makes it clear that anything that is not your ally is your enemy in rules terms. My question is, can a player using an area attack that effects all enemies, choose to target only some of them? A second question, i am sure i have read somewhere that you can pull your blow with any attack - can you pull your blow with some targets of the same attack, but not others? [/QUOTE]
