Why does spellcasting provoke OA?

[DracoSuave]

Fixed.

But anyway, I agree with DracoSuave.

Maybe I wanted it to read like a power description, hmmm?

Cause: When someone is trying hard to stab....

Effect: You get stabbed.

....Every forum needs HK-47.

Cause when someone is trying very hard to stab you with his blade, it is hard to dodge his eagerness to cut you while your attention is on some guy across the battlefield who earned the wrath of your bow.

Common sense, really.

This.

Ah, I was still channelling 3.5. Thanks for the clarification. Gotta crack those rulebooks again and re-read. Thanks, Ari.

Well..

In 3.5 you had the rules that you needed to say something, sway youre hands or something else..

In 4.0 its simple, you dont need to all those requirements.. but you still do it..

If you didnt have to say something to cast the spell, or to use youre hands, you would be an psionic, and that you are not..

And off course as said earlier.. you are concentrating on something far off the battlefield..
