I'm a Master of Information, an MMORPG expert, and in my spare time I dabble in Dungeons and Dragons, mainly 4th edition. I secretly aspire to re-write 4e into AD&D 4.5 and fix all those niggly issues I have with it.

comment Does undirected damage require line of sight/effect?
Good call Ananisapta. The Compendium entry for Aura does explicitly state that they require Line of Effect and that they're blocked by blocking terrain. So yeah, Auras are probably the best way to understand the mechanics of these Rages.

In this case, you're not actually targeting a creature with an attack, you're simply dealing damage to them. The rage effects have more in common with hazardous zones, such as the Wizard level 1 daily Freezing Cloud. You still need line of effect from the origin square, but you don't need line of sight.

comment How often can secondary powers be used?
Hmm, good catch. You're right. I wonder why the DDI doesn't list the Secondary Power as an At-Will!

comment Burrowing, Large Creatures, Opportunity Attacks, Drowning, and Z-Axis Movement
I was considering something like this because it is, admittedly, a complex issue. If SE had a "question tree" format where a number of "sub-questions" could be attached to a "parent question" that would work, but because a number of the fringe questions stem from a fundamental question about the nature of burrowing, I thought it would be troublesome to break everything into completely separate questions. Would it be better to have a single meta-question "how does burrowing work" accompanied with a self-answer that provides one possible interpretation to burrowing?
