[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5019347, member: 71571"] But if the enemy has already taken his attack, this could also outright cancel his attack completely. He attacks your buddy, you push him to a square that is non-adjacent to your buddy, now the attack fails due to lack of range. He's either going to move back, or move away. Given in this case he's a meleer, this is NOT a bad situation for you. Regardless, even if he stands there doltishly, nothing forces you from not shifting and pressing the assault. This, of course, doesn't take into account your wizard who was just waiting for an opportunity to have all his enemies backed into a group, oh, you just threw in the straggler. ----------------------------- Now, imagine this wasn't done during that enemy's turn. Imagine instead it's during your rogue's turn. Your rogue is slipping past, and triggers an OA from your marked foe that he wants to flank and do massive damage to. The foe now has a choice. He can either OA the rogue, and get donkey punched by you, and get thrown into a terrible position, and never actually get to hit the rogue, or he can forgo his attack against the rogue, which suits you just fine. So, the rogue gets to risk either not being attacked, or not being attacked. The rogue likes this. -------------------------------- Dwarven Anvil and Hammer fighter. The shield is the Anvil. The hammer is... um... a hammer. DWT, and the rest is cake. [/QUOTE]
