[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5335869, member: 82106"] I'm pretty sure there was an actual post from one of the devs either in the thread linked above or in one of the other similar threads that have hashed this out over and over on Q&A. I'm REALLY not going to go through 100+ pages of threads looking for it. You can accept that FAQ entry 38 implies that MM and similar powers DO hit, accept the obvious RAI, or play it whatever way you feel like. While Greg Bilsland didn't address this issue exactly in the quote in the linked thread I seriously doubt he's going to come down on the side of it being an attack and then say it doesn't HIT. An attack that damages a specific target is an attack and it hits. If there are issues with that and other powers they need to be taken up there. As with a lot of similar areas of 4e there simply IS no one totally consistent reading of the rules that will do exactly what you want all the time. They simply aren't anywhere near written tightly enough for that. [/QUOTE]
