OA's are interrupts, so the attack actually happens before they enter the adjacent square.
Polearm Gamble said:When a nonadjacent enemy enters a square adjacent to you, you can make an opportunity attack with a polearm against that enemy...
No.I think the point being made is that changing the Trigger of something to an event outside its range inherently changes the range/makes the Range entry irrelevant to the arguement of usability.
Think about the following dummy situation:
Fake Power 1
Encounter Power
Action: Oppertunity Action
Range: Close burst 5
Trigger: An enemy with the burst is reduced to zero hit points.
Effect: You point and say "Har Har". All enemies gain -2 to all defenses UEOYNT.
Fake Feat 1
You may trigger "Fake Power 1" in responce to reducing to zero hit points any enemy with 10 squares of you.
I think it is fair to assume "Fake Feat 1" has altered "Fake Power 1" such that it is able to be triggered by an emeny 7 squares (for example) away from you. This has either contradicted the Range "Close burst 5" and made it "Close burst 10" or has contradicted the Trigger's dependency on being within the range of the "Close burst 5". Either way the range has been contradictted by the change in trigger.
If such a contradiction has taken place then "Specific beats General" is invoked and the feat wins.
/yawn. Specifically modifies the range (hey, look, it actually is Specific vs General. You found one! Good job.)Counterargument.
There is a feat available to monks that allows them to use Flurry of Blows powers against a target two squares away from them so long as they have a spear. However, all Flurry of Blows powers have a range that does not allow that, so... the... feat... does... not... do... what... it... says?.

It's one round, because what matters is enemy turns, not your turns. You can't take OAs during your turn, so the end result is that you will have Threatening Reach for one of each of your opponent's turns (barring them delaying past your turn or something like that).
