[QUOTE="Kingreaper, post: 5120252, member: 83870"] Except that there's a perfectly sensible reason, in-universe, why you wouldn't let an enemy be pushed past you: If you do, you're leaving yourself completely open to their attacks. There's not such a reason for why you WOULD let an ally be pushed through you. In addition: Being an ally would logically seem to require willingness on BOTH sides; while you might declare yourself an enemy warlord's ally before you spend an Action Point, that doesn't mean he'll agree with you, does it? No. For Ally status to exist it's pretty clear that both parties have to agree to it. You seem to be assuming that no-one ever cares for verisimilitude, and only wishes to manipulate the game for max advantage. That is not so. EDIT: Is there, somewhere, a more thorough definition for "ally" that I'm missing. Because that seems to be the main point of disagreement, the only definition of ally I've seen in 4e is a willing recipient, with it being contextually clear that the other side of an "allies" power has a choice as well.
