Message: <blockquote data-quote="tiornys" data-source="post: 4898894" data-attributes="member: 17633">No, you're confusing Opportunity Attacks and Opportunity Actions.  Opportunity Attacks are provoked by an enemy walking/running out of an adjacent square or by making a ranged attack (among other triggers), but they are only a subset of Opportunity Actions.  The relevant rule explicitly cites Opportunity Actions, which includes but is not limited to Opportunity Attacks.Unless something explicitly overrides that general rule, it holds.  Agile Opportunist creates a new trigger for an Opportunity Action that is a melee attack, but it doesn't override that rule.The real debate is whether or not the quoted text is intended to be rules text.  It doesn't appear in the Rules Compendium, and customer service has repeatedly ruled that Agile Opportunist triggers on ally actions.  But, if you accept the quoted text as rules text, it's pretty straightforward to demonstrate that Agile Opportunist only triggers on enemy actions.Either way, the feat is flawed.  It's either so situational as to be pointless, or overpowered and breakable.  It should probably use Immediate Actions instead of Opportunity Actions.t~edit: oh, and for the OP, Heavy Blade Opportunity does not work in conjunction with Agile Opportunist.  The former allows you to use an at-will power instead of a basic melee attack when you make an Opportunity Attack, whereas the latter creates a new type of Opportunity Action that allows you to make a basic melee attack when triggered.</blockquote>
