[QUOTE="Dan'L, post: 5090250, member: 68954"] You really must be privy to a different PHB or rules source than the ones I have. The PHB I have reads: ...in the general introduction paragraph to the Opportunity Attacks rules, and: ...in the specific Opportunity Attack rules. Reads pretty definitive to me. I'd be interested to know where I can find rules that define it as something else, because from the rules that I have located, while Opportunity Attacks may well be triggered actions, they are [I]defined[/I] as melee attacks. That certain powers or feats overwrite this definition does not change that this is how OAs are defined. Also, you seem to be under the impression that something being a "triggered action" puts it into some category that is mutually exclusive of "melee attacks." I can assure you, there are many things in this game that are both triggered actions and melee attacks. -Dan'L [/QUOTE]
