[QUOTE="Lucas Blackstone, post: 4293377, member: 68942"] Sorry, new to these boards and don't see a search function so I am bringing up what is sure to be a dead horse. My understanding of D&D movement is that you are moving from one square to another when you decide to take a move action and move with it. If the squares on the battle grid were numbered, you might be moving from square 1 to square 7 on a move action. You are moving through the other squares in between ( barring teleportation or other special movement) but you are moving to the final square that you picked. So if you are moving 3 squares to square 4 from square 1, that is your action. Moving to square 4. When the Kobold with Dragonshield Tactics interrupts your movement and shifts a square to square 6 ( assuming he was in square 5 and you wanted to be adjacent to attack ) your movement continues and finishes at square 4. That is where you were going and that is what was interrupted. You don't get to pick new squares even though you have movement left. You are already resolving your action. Not picking what you were going to do still. This is why I get tired of seeing people say they can just keep walking up to the Kobold in question. It doesn't seem like the power works that way. Is there any word from a WotC rep about this? Again my apologies for not seeing where the search function is located. [/QUOTE]
