Force Blast

[DeadEndHero]

FORCE BLAST Give this character a power action and roll a d6; a single target adjacent
opposing character is knocked back from this character a number of squares equal to the result.The
target automatically breaks away, and can move through squares adjacent to opposing characters.
The target can be dealt knock back damage.

Ok, simple question: Do I not need to make a succesfull attack to knock the opponent back? In other abilities there is a wording like "make an attack roll"

There's a "Rules Forum" for questions like this.

To answer your question, though, there is no attack made, so no attack roll is made.

(Several Rulebooks ago, it was defined as a close combat action with no attack roll, but now it is simply a power action.)

Sorry for using the wrong forum for this. English is not my native language, so this could happen. Thanks for the reply. The Question was important for me because "Thors mighty Chariot" uses Force Blast and makes Damage equel to the squares the opponent gets knocked back. So very simple for him to make Damage using this power.
