Well, I just assumed it was listed in KotS. If I'd realized it wasn't, I'd have kept my big mouth shut.

The fighter from KoTS is allowed to make opportunity attacks against shifting adjacent baddies (or baddies who attack someone other than the fighter) but it doesn't say that these attacks prevent the actions that triggered them.

The pre-gen in KotSF doesn't have Combat Superiority, which is the ability, I think, that stops people from moving around the fighter. Sounds like it's still an option for those wanting to take it.
My original question was just due to the rule in KotSF that says Opportunity Actions interrupt those actions that triggered them. I remembered Combat Superiority and wondered if this meant that all OAs interrupted the movement that caused them. I'm glad that that's not the case.

Very true! They are basic melee attacks made as immediate interrupts, clearly. I'm not sure how I could miss something so obvious.

Maybe we can ask WotC is Combat Superiority is still in the game.

Believe me its not. I think that has been teh number 1 source of confusion for people playing the DDXP pregens.
If that ability is still in the 4e books, enworld should just put a sticky up on day 1 and get it over with because I promise the flood of questions about that same thing will come.

It is indeed a funky way of phrasing things. But it's an important distinction. Because fighters have abilities that trigger on opportunity attacks, it's very important to establish that the fighter's free attack against marked foes who shift isn't an OA, even if it seems like one in most respects.

It would've helped a lot if they'd just added a few words along the lines of "This basic attack does not count as an opportunity attack."Mouseferatu said:
Similarly, the rules for immediate actions should clarify that "interrupting" something doesn't make it not happen.
