Deft Strike and OA's?

[comotose4]

I was wondering if the movement from Deft Strike provokes attacks of opportunity? Srry if this has been clarified before but I havent seen it if it has. Thanks for the heads up in advance.

I missed this in a playtest, but after reading it I would say yes as the movement is characterized as a move and not a shift.

 

[ShadowyFigure]

Yes.

I actually have a question too. Does an OA stop the moving character in its tracks? I know there's some mention of this and it's being discusses as a tactic amongst my players, but I'm not sure if it's correct.

If a creature moves and provokes Opportunity Attacks, does the creature have to stop moving once he is hit? This comes from the rule in KotSF that says: "An opportunity action interrupts the action that triggered it."

No. Interrupts very specifically just pause the action they're interrupting, then let it continue afterwards. Unless the interrupt somehow makes that part of the action illegal. Then that would cancel the part that was made illegal, such as being immobilized in the middle of a power that lets you move then attack. You can still make the attack if you have a legal target, you just can't continue to move

The fighter at D&DXP had to ability to stop people from moving with OAs. The ability hasn't been seen since.

The Fighter from the Experience playtest had that specific rule.

However, I thought slides do not provoke OAs.

Yes it has. They still have that. But it's a fighter-specific ability.

 

[Stormtower]

None of the three types of forced movement - push, slide, and pull - draw opportunity attacks (KotS Adventure Book, pg. 11 under "forced movement").

 

[AZRogue]

Fighter specific. Cool. Helpful for the party without completely changing the way movement happens over the battlefield.

Not trying to doubt you Mouse, but where did we see that? I hadn't heard of it popping up again.
