Message: <blockquote data-quote="osmanb" data-source="post: 4243250" data-attributes="member: 2004">I was reading another thread earlier today asking about Dragonshield Tactics, but I already can't find it. Anyways, after doing some test combats, I'm REALLY unsure of how to run this power. (I'm going to be starting the module for real on Monday.)The power is listed as triggering when an adjacent enemy 'shifts away' or an enemy 'moves adjacent'. Questions (I know that at least some of these have been discussed already, but I'm curious what the prevailing theory is):<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If a character moves up to attack, the DS can shift away before the attack is made, leaving the character unable to attack (unless they use a ranged attack), right?</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Is there any difference if the character is charging? Seems like no, but if the character declares a charge, do you allow them to switch to a basic ranged attack once the DS has backed away? That doesn't seem right, because now they're being allowed to do something that's otherwise illegal (move + ranged attack during a single standard action).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">If a character starts out adjacent to the DS, and shifts to remain adjacent, does DsT trigger? According to the strictest reading of the power, it doesn't, but it seems like shift is really a special case of movement (for the 2nd trigger), so it does still go off. Again, in this case, the character probably just screwed themselves, as they can no longer attack the DS in melee.</li> </ul></blockquote>
