I am making a melee cleric (Cleric 4/Ordained Champion 4 for those curious), and I am thinking about taking the Retribution domain. However, there is some confusion as to how the granted power works. This is the granted power according to the Spell Compendium:
Once per day, if you have been harmed by someone in combat, you can make a strike of vengeance with a melee or ranged weapon against that foe on your next action. If this strike hits, you deal maximum damage. Now, here's my question: is the strike of vengeance it's own thing, or can I make it as part of a full attack?

How does this work with Aura of Chaos? Hm...

A parsimonious reading would say it doesn't, because Aura of Chaos requires that you roll a dice and the Retribution domain doesn't.

I'd say you can make it as a part of a full attack, but only the first attack has a chance to be maximum damage.
