[QUOTE="Max1mus, post: 5004827, member: 86404"] So I am playing a Ranger in my campaign who has the power "Disruptive Strike." It is a very useful power that is an Immediate Interrupt and reduces the attack of the enemy if I hit. The Trigger is "You or an ally is attacked by an enemy." The problem is when I try to use it I get called out on it. Here's an example of play: DM: The goblin attacks Leeroys Wizard. (Rolls) Does a 18 hit your AC? Leeroy: Just barely. My AC is 17. Me: Then I want to use Disruptive Strike. DM: That's cheating. You can't do that when you already know the result of the roll. I think that's how you are supposed to use it. I can only use it once per encounter and STILL need to hit for it to work. Am I supposed to shout it out as the DM is rolling the dice? But what if he misses? Then the power is wasted. It's hard to argue my side because of powers like the Wizard's Shield that have the Trigger "You are hit by an enemy." How would you guys rule this? Is it overpowered the way I m using it? When should one declare immediate interrupts? [/QUOTE]
