Ok some things come up in a game i was running and wanted to see some clarafications.

1. If you are slowed and you have a power that allows you to shift up to 3+ squares are you still limited to 2 squares of movement? pg 277 of PHB says "speed is 2 and it applies to all forms of movement except teleport or forced movement" Example was a Fey Shift up to 10 squares.

2. Can you get a immediate reaction/interrupt and still do an opportunity attack in the same round? I say yes you can according to the rules on triggered actions PHB pg. 268
3. This one is a bit trickier. If you have an effect on you that you says "if you move you take damage(ongoing efect)/slowed/etc." and you shift or teleport/phase? Do you take the effect? Shifting i think is still movement but is teleport or phasing or anything that allows you to be somewhere else considered moving for those purposes.

Slow changes you speed to 2. That's all it does. A power that lets you shift three has nothing to do with you speed as a character, so you can still shift 3 with that power if you are slowed. In fact you can still double move and run while doing to move 8 squares.

2. Can you get a immediate reaction/interrupt and still do an opportunity attack in the same round? I say yes you can according to the rules on triggered actions PHB pg. 268
You are correct. Immediate actions and Opportunity Action are different types of triggered actions. The only thing they really have in common is that they can not be used on your turn.
3. This one is a bit trickier. If you have an effect on you that you says "if you move you take damage(ongoing efect)/slowed/etc." and you shift or teleport/phase? Do you take the effect?

Yes you take damage teleport/shifting/forced movement are all types of movement. Mostly, it really depends on how the effect is worded. Like for instance, say there is an effect that says if you move you become slowed. Normally if you move you would stop at 2 squares, but if you teleport you would teleport the full distance because teleportation doesn't rely on you speed. You would still get the slowed condition though because teleportation is a form of movement.

It depends. Some powers say 'shift up to your speed' in which case, the slowed condition applies. Other powers say 'shift X squares' in which case your speed is irrelevant, and therefore the slowed condition doesn't do anything.

Yes. Immediate actions and opportunity actions are on different 'cooldowns' and are not related.

Teleportation is a form of movement, and things that are not negated by teleportation still apply to it as normal.

Phasing is not a form of movement, it's a quality that alters the rules for movement. So you do not 'phase' from point A to B, you -have phasing- while you -walk- from point A to B.
