Note though, they aren't to the excellent questions that the group here posted, but rather from the questions I had already asked. The total length is rather long. I'm going to post what I think is the pertinent parts, but if anyone wants the complete e-mails in their entirety, just let me know and I'll post them asap.Remember, I asked these questions before everyone's excellent suggestions, so be kind. <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=":)" />Anyways, in the first e-mail, I asked this:Customer (Ronald Hall) - 12/28/2009 06:56 PMWe're having a real problem with this at Enworld.Look at FAQ #26:26. Where is the target of your attack when you make an opportunity attac=k because of Polearm Gamble?"An opportunity attack interrupts the action that triggers it, so when yo=u make the opportunity attack, the target is in the square it's leaving, =assuming that square is within your melee reach."Going by this, any power that says you get an Opportunity Attack when a c=reature moves into, or enters an adjacent square, like Warding Blade for =example, won't work unless you have extended reach. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />Can you clear this up please? Thank you very much!and they replied:Response (Support Agent) - 12/29/2009 01:36 PMHello Ronald,=20I need to address the question that you are asking as it is a specific si=tuation with a specific power (Warding Blade), if there are other powers =you want to ask about afterwards feel free I will address those powers as= well. =20As far as Warding blade is concerned until the end of your next turn, if =any enemy other than the target enters a square adjacent to you or hits o=r misses you from a square within your reach, you can make a melee basic =attack against that enemy as an opportunity action.  This is not triggere=d by an attack of opportunity, but instead is a power that triggers an at=tack of opportunity under certain circumstances.  Keep in mind that you o=nly gain one attack of opportunity on any specific creatures turn.  So wh=at this means is that you have options as to how to take your attacks of =opportunity, should you use the Warding blade you would gain an attack wi=thin the range of your weapon against anyone who attacks you (regardless =of if they hit or miss you)  or if they move to a square adjacent toyou. =20If you decide to use Polearm Gamble it would have an over lapping affect =as it says when a nonadjacent enemy enters a square adjacent to you, you =can make an opportunity attack with a polearm against that enemy, but you= grant combat advantage to that enemy until the end of the enemy=92s turn==2E Though if you chose to use this feat you will of course grant combat =advantage which can be risky. =20Ultimately the power feat combination plays as: you get an attack of oppo=rtunity when nonadjacent enemy enters a square adjacent to you but grant =combat advantage (if you have decided to take the attack of opportunity),= except when you have used the power Warding Blade, at which point you no= longer grant combat advantage when you take the attack of opportunity ag=ainst nonadjacent enemy entering a square adjacent to you and you get an =attack on opponents who make an attack within range of your weapon until =the end of your next turn.=20Sorry if this is to much of an explanation I just wanted to be thorough a=s to clarify the issue as I am sure this will end up online. Happy Gaming=!Okay, that's lengthy enough for now - I'll add the other reply in the next msg.Thanks!</blockquote>
