However, since Footwork Lure doesn't specify a distance of movement, there is question as to whether the fighter could slide a large creature in so as to place any one the creatures base squares over the target square (at his choosing), as the movement of a slide is determined by the person doing the sliding.My issue with this is that (in an extreme example), a fighter wielding a poelarm could effectively slide a gargantuan creatures 6 squares (2 for the polearm's reach, and 4 to move the back side of the creature into the target square).This seems a tad powerful for an at-will attack. It also seems to go against the flavour of the attack, which states:If the creatures is drawn after you, why would he completely move through where you were, repositioning himself far more than need be?I don't have an issue with the concept of the power, I just think it can easily be exploited on larger creatures, as the RAW is quite vague, not making any mention of movement distance nor how to deal with larger creatures.How are others interpreting this power?</blockquote>
