Jun 04, 2009 8:07:42 I don't think that they will count toward magic missile. That power is not a ranged basic attack, even though you may be able to use it as one I don't believe that the bracers would count toward that. Even though MM counts as a ranged basic attack for you, it would not count with the bracers, you get to use MM "in place" of a ranged basic attack, and the bracers say "only" for a ranged basic attack. Sorry dude.

Keep the thread going though and hopefully you will get the attention of some staff. There are a lot of little problems like that in the CB though.

Magic Missile Wizard Attack 1
You launch a silvery bolt of force at an enemy.
At-Will ✦ Arcane, Force, Implement
Standard Action Ranged 20
Target: One creature
Attack: Intelligence vs. Reflex
Hit: 2d4 + Intelligence modifier force damage.
Increase damage to 4d4 + Intelligence modifier at 21st level.
Special: This power counts as a ranged basic attack. When a power allows you to make a ranged basic attack, you can use this power.

Jun 05, 2009 9:00:22 Magic Missile is a ranged basic attack, and the bracers should apply to it. They certainly do for Eldritch Blast on my Warlock character and Acid Orb on my Sorcerer character.

Jun 05, 2009 10:33:29 Yeah, forget this thread. My math skills were clearly suffering yesterday. I started two threads to say that my bonuses weren't being applied, and sure enough, I was wrong.

My apologies all.
