[QUOTE="keterys, post: 5211045, member: 43019"] How would you rule the following? A warlord and avenger are fighting a dragon. The dragon breathes on the two, in a close blast 5, dealing 30 damage to each. The damage from the breath weapon bloodies the avenger, so the warlord triggers his Immediate Interrupt Unified in Blood: [B]Unified in Blood[/B] [I]Rushing to defend a friend in trouble, you make a bold attack. Your friend then defends himself by your example.[/I] [B]Encounter[/B] [IMG]http://www.wizards.com/dndinsider/compendium/images/bullet.gif[/IMG] [B]Martial[/B], [B]Weapon[/B] [B]Immediate Interrupt[/B] [B]Melee[/B] weapon [B]Trigger[/B]: An enemy within 5 squares of you bloodies an ally [B]Target[/B]: The triggering enemy [B]Effect[/B]: Before the attack, you can move your speed. [B]Attack[/B]: Strength vs. AC [B]Hit[/B]: 2[W] + Strength modifier damage, and the bloodied ally can make a basic attack against the target as a free action. The warlord moves his speed before the attack, per the Effect. He then makes the attack. 1) If that attack kills the dragon, do either of them still take the 30 damage? If the warlord's attack does not, but the free basic attack kills the dragon, does that change anything? 2) If the warlord has moved out of the close blast, does he take damage from the breath weapon? 3) If the avenger's basic attack allows the avenger to move, or moves the dragon, such that either the warlord or the avenger is no longer in the blast, does that change who took damage? For clarity/reminder, the interrupt rules: Interrupt: An immediate interrupt lets you jump in when a certain trigger condition arises, acting before the trigger resolves. If an interrupt invalidates a triggering action, that action is lost. For example, an enemy makes a melee attack against you, but you use a power that lets you shift away as an immediate interrupt. If your enemy can no longer reach you, the enemy’s attack action is lost. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
