Do you read the rules the same way for a normal OA, where the trigger is leaving the square? Ie, do you only make the attack after the creature has already left the square?That is the entire premise of interrupting actions, from OAs to Shield to Combat Challenge. It's a basic principle of the game.That depends on your rules at the table. What happens in your game if you go 'Okay, I'm moving over here' and the DM says 'Okay, so I'll get an opportunity attack' and you instead go 'Oh, then I'll shift'. Same thing. Not sure I see how it would look silly at all unless you try to make it so. The DM says "Okay, he moves over to you and attacks you" and you say "Cool, I get an OA when he tries to move next to me" - a mirror of the earlier conversation of "Okay, I move away from him" "Okay, he gets an OA then"More curious will be what you actually asked them.Good luck! You guys would do well to learn how interrupts and reactions (like the repulsion cloth, which works great on shifts since it negates them, but pretty ineffectually on normal movement unless you can push them next to a fighter or something) work, but just so it's clear... as a DM I'd house rule the power to let you hit a creature that moved adjacent. I really think the person who wrote the power just didn't realize what they were doing <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
