Lightning bolt is a 7th-level Wizard encounter attack power. It was introduced in the Player's Handbook, before being re-written to have a different effect in later books.[PH:162] [HotFL:215] [NCS:76]
It is rated as a weak choice, although the precision is at least considered nice even though blaster-wizards may have better options at this level.
Errata[]
- In the original printing, the attack had one primary target, and did no damage on a miss. The power instead had two secondary targets within 10 squares of the primary target, which did 1d6+mod damage each.
- It also received the Evocation keyword.
