Pondering an Affliction for a wizard-hunter character.

Affliction is a ranged attack. It has Acc, Max Range, half-damage range (although I'm still not sure how that would work), but you get the picture.

Would the affliction attack be deflected by a Missile Shield? The attack form can be specified when the power is defined. Could I make some sort of specification that would not be affected by MS? Obviously, if I call it 'Poison Dart Affliction' I could see where it would be, but is that just a special effect?

Thanks,

arnej
