[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 5322026, member: 5143"] Unfortunately, Customer Service isn't a very good source for rules questions. Alas, they aren't given much support. They are given a database of rules and commonly asked questions. Otherwise, they are just people like you or me reading the descriptions from their copy of the PHB and interpreting the same as everyone else. Even Living Forgotten Realms stopped allowed Customer Service to be a Primary Rules Source. In other words, if your DM and Customer Service disagree on how a rule should work at an official LFR event, the DM wins. This is because even WOTC doesn't have a huge amount of faith in their responses. I've gotten all sorts of weird answers from them before. One even told me that shifting still provoked opportunity attacks. That's what the PHB entry on Grab says. It's likely that Customer Service isn't reading from the Rules Compendium yet, which has a much clearer entry on grab. WOTC has said that one of the primary reasons for printing the Rules Compendium was to clarify rules that were too easily misread. This appears to be one of them. [/QUOTE]
