So I have a query about fey sinkhole.
So I understand the power. You create a zone and then when an enemy starts within the zone, you make the 'Fey Sinkhole Attack' against it and if you hit, you daze the target and if it leaves the zone, it is teleported back in.
My question is this - Fey Sinkhole Attack is a daily use power. Even if it is an opportunity action, this still means you can only use it once. That means that you create a zone that lasts until the end of the encounter with the main power, but you can then only use the power on a single enemy once. It seems like 'Fey Sinkhole Attack' is intended to be an 'At-Will' meaning you can keep dazing and dragging multiple enemies into the sinkhole until you miss them. Powerful? yes, but it does little damage and it is level 15.
So yeh, that is my question, should Fey Sinkhole Attack be 'at-will' instead and is this an error in the power description? or do you think it is intended to just be used on a single enemy?

If you've looked this up in Compendium, you should know that it is notoriously bad at correctly stating the usage type of secondary powers. It's extremely likely that the OA part of this power is at-will. Check the primary source.

Sadly I do not have the primary source (PHB3). If anyone could shed some light on if this is an error in the Compendium, I would be very grateful :-)

You can keep making the attack so long as the zone exists.

Hi Alcestis
Did you confirm this from PHB3 listing the attack as an At-Will not a daily?
Thanks

Its an error of formatting in the DDi Compendium.
The original source in the Player's Handbook 3 has no Daily usage limitation, so you can use it at-will, once per turn being an Opportunity Action, this whenever a creature will starts its turn within the zone.
Fey Sinkhole Seeker Attack 15
You open a temporary rift to the Feywild. A vortex of beguiling
magic lashes around the opening, dragging creatures toward it.
Daily - Primal, Psychic, Teleportation, Weapon, Zone
Standard Action Area burst 1 within weapon range
Effect: The burst creates a zone that lasts until the end of
the encounter or until you dismiss it as a minor action.
Until the zone ends, you can you can make the following attack
using a square within the zone as the origin square.
Opportunity Action Close burst 1
Trigger: A creature starts its turn within the zone
Target: The triggering creature in the burst
Attack: Wisdom vs. Will
Hit: 5 psychic damage, and the target is dazed until the
start of its next turn. If the target leaves the zone before
the end of its turn, you can use a free action to teleport
the target to a square within the zone.

Ahh yes, I see. That formatting makes more sense.
Cool, thanks very much :-)

The Compendium routinely lists any "sub-powers" contained within a power as being of the same type as the overarching power regardless of it's actual frequency of use...

Yep, so i've now noticed. It gets some right though which is why I queried it :-) But it is to do with the formatting of the power. The ones where they separate out the two powers in the book seem to be correct in compendium. Those where the second power is an indent of the first, tend to be incorrect in compendium.

Yup and Sometimes they add even more, like keywords, out of thin air.
