[QUOTE="DarkLord Of DForce, post: 5553115, member: 85416"] I started a thread on this very subject quite some time ago. The RAW crowd claimed that it does not work because the monsters movement into a square is the trigger, not stopping in the adjacent square. How you can stop in mid step is simply beyond me. So according to them, the monster then was able to complete whatever was left of its move. (and making the armor almost completely useless, IMHO). The RAI crowd claimed that because an immediate reaction happens after the trigger completely resolves, that the monster does indeed wind up adjacent to you, then the armor triggers and pushes them 1 sq back, and they must spend another action or power to move back up to you. It was quite a long message thread, so I finally just let Customer Service resolve it for our D&D group. CS says that it does trigger after they are adjacent to you, and pushe them back 1 square. Then to move back to you, they would have to spend another action/power. I contacted CS 3 or 4 different times over a couple of weeks, making sure I was talking to a different rep each time, and they consistently answered to this effect. Its not OP - I mean, if you have this armor and are facing 3 monsters, 2 of them will get to you, because you can only use an Immediate Reaction once a round. This was good enough for our group, so we ran with it. HTHs. [/QUOTE]
