A couple of the helpfiles written for the new(er) Anti-paladin abilities suggest that you should be able initiate combat with them by specifying a target name...

for example:
lashesoftheslave <victim>
cripplingstrike <victim>

In reality, these abilities can only be used while already in combat, so a target isn't really needed. I'd like to be able to initiate combat with them, but I suspect they are working as expected and would understand if the helpfiles just needed to have the targets removed.
