[QUOTE="Nichwee, post: 4969129, member: 84242"] That is certainly not assured. "You alter reality slightly" can definately indicate reality (all of it) got changed - and why would I alter reality in a way that hurts my friends (as they burn resources) if I can alter it in a way that simply makes the entire sequence of events "never happen". IMO, "It never happened" makes all responses to it "never happen" or we hit paradox territory. An normal interrupt is not paradox territory as it simply alters a single event for a single person - effectively a "resolve this trigger in an odd way in this instance" (such as the hit that triggers the interrupt doesn't resolve via the Hit line as the interrupt places a different outcome on it). I understand you may not agree, but I would like some rules arguement to, at least, back you up before I decide to change my way of doing it. EDIT: In fact the "only the monster is rolled back" is expressly inaccurate if you consider the monster's power doing damage. Monster does AE psychic damage vs Will. Targets WotST last. Hits all previous targets. WotST undoes the attack. Surely the damage was undone - or I just gave the monster a way to do AE damage on the party (minus me) for free. And this becomes a great reason to target your own WotST in PC's vs Will AEs that damage (if you can). Nice to use that Daily vs Wil AE twice for full effect :) So surely if I roll back the use of the power I roll back every effect of it, including damage and triggered responses or we open a mayor can of worms for exploiting.
