swap places

[ahammer]

the monk power dragon's tail says "you swap places with the target"
while I know what that means I can not see anything that tells you what swap is in 4e(I'm I missing it somewhere).

does it count as forced movement (ie would I fail on a dwarf if they did not want it.)

also does it provoke oa?

According to the D&DI Compendium, it's forced movement.

Forced Movement

Swapping Places: Some powers let you swap places with a target. You slide the target so that its space overlaps your space, and then you shift so your space includes at least one square that the target just left.

So, a dwarf could resist, and it doesn't provoke.

Also in the Player's Handbook on page 286.

That's always the case, isn't it. Thinking that you're reasonably sure you read it somewhere... but where? That's why I love searchable rules!
