[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4570330, member: 71571"] You aren't correct. 1) Fighters can't make opportunity attacks against anyone who shifts away from a square adjacent to them. They make an [B]immediate interrupt[/B] of which they only get one per round, as opposed to [B]opportunity attacks[/B] which can be taken once per other player/monster's turn. They don't get their Combat Superiority bonuses to their Combat Challenge attack. And once they make that Combat Challenge attack, they can't make another, or any other immediate action, until their next turn comes up. 2) You are correct about what OAs care about. Opportunity attacks only care about three things: Moving out of an adjacent square; using a ranged power in an adjacent square; using an area power in an adjacent square. However, Spitting Cobra Stance allows you to make a ranged basic attack against anyone moving closer to you as an opportunity action, and is an exception to this. Polearm Gamble is another exception to the above, in that it cares which square you -enter-. 3) Shifting doesn't prevent opportunity attacks unless said attack came while you were shifting from an adjacent square. That's the only time it matters. 4) Spitting Cobra Stance isn't an opportunity attack. Shifting doesn't stop it anyways, nor does any power that explicitly prevents opportunity attacks. Spitting Cobra Stance is an opportunity [I]action.[/I] Other notes about Spitting Cobra Stance: Teleportation stops Spitting Cobra Stance. Teleportation [I]explicitly[/I] prevents opportunity [I]actions[/I]. A Fighter/Ranger with this power does not stop movement with it, nor do they get their Wisdom bonus to attack with it, because it is not an opportunity attack. As the action is an interrupt (like all opp. actions) the five squares cares where the enemy is -before- it would move closer. The attacks granted by it do trigger opportunity attacks. Forced movement's restriction counts as it explicitly forbids opportunity -actions-. Anything else? [/QUOTE]
