[QUOTE="fnwc, post: 4248426, member: 48368"] The confusion comes in the fact that, as D'karr has previously stated, an action is not an action when it comes to this description. "Actions", as we know them, are standard, move, minor and free actions. What this ruling from mearls says is that the "move" trigger in the Dragonshield power is actually triggered by a micro-move in the move action, rather than the action as a whole. This is confusing because they use the word 'triggering action', which would seem to indicate the entire action, whether it be a 'move', a 'charge', etc. If you go by the RAW, then the entire triggering "action" must complete before the Dragonshield activates his power. But this is not the intended effect of the power. This seems nitpicky, but obviously the wording isn't clear enough due to the misuse of terminology in the power description. [/QUOTE]
