[QUOTE="Balesir, post: 5405075, member: 27160"] Except that, for many/most bursts, you need to check the "Target" line to see whether it affects enemies, allies or creatures at the very least. It seems to me that if players are not reading their own powers completely there is likely to be problems in many areas; it's just a skill that is part of being a D&D player - comprehensive reading for clear comprehension :) People are not computers, sure - but this is an unusually, perhaps uniquely, mind-based game/hobby. Not taking time to clearly grasp the details of the (entirely imaginary) action going on is pretty much a debar to successful play. You might say it's a "core value" in roleplaying. None of the subject "world" being built and manipulated is real - it's in the players' minds. Spending the time and effort needed to clearly "see" the imaginary structure being played [I]with[/I] is pretty fundamental. [/QUOTE]
