Much appreciated.The problem for me is, multiple people on Enworld are saying that with Wa=rding Blade, I would NOT get an OA from the enemy entering an adjacent sq=uare because the OA is an interrupt. They claim that the interrupt from t=he OA from warding blade stops their movement towards me as soon as they =start moving. So in effect, if they were 10 squares away and declared the=y were moving into an adjacent square next to me, that the OA would immed=iately kick in, stop them from moving, and then I would miss since they w=ere outside of my melee weapons 1 square (normal) reach. I can't believe =that the OA from Warding Blade is intended to work this way.They are saying that polearm gamble and warding blade work exactly the sa=me way.Okay, about Repulsive armor (you're right, probably better to keep this s=eparate!).They are saying that an enemy can be 3 squares from me, with a move speed= of 6, move adjacent to me, get kicked back by repulsive armor, then cont=inue his remaining move speed so he is adjacent to me again. This makes n=o sense to me - if thats the case, then Repulsive armor is basically usel=ess. I read the description as it being an immediate reaction, and not an= interrupt, that the enemy would move into an adjacent square, Repulsive =armor "wakes up", the enemy is allowed to continue the resolution of his =move, he is now adjacent, and Repulsive armor kicks him back one square. =If he wants to continue moving, he'd have to spend a standard action or u=se some other power.Also, how does Repulsive armor work against the following:Someon shifts into an adjacent squareorSomeone uses an attack power that lets them shift into an adjacent square= while attacking. In this case, would they be allowed to finish their att=ack before being kicked back one square?=20Thanks ever so much - you guys are great. <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=":)" />and here is what WOTC's CS replied:Response (Support Agent) - 12/29/2009 06:51 PMHello Ronald,=20Simply, they are wrong.  An attack of opportunity is not an interrupt it =is an action triggered by their movement.  An interrupt stops an action. = The only way that an attack of opportunity stops an action is if it kill=s the person you hit. Powers that have the Immediate Interrupts descripto=rs are the only thing that are actual interrupts.  So this is how it work=s: You attack the primary target causing 2[W] damage +wisdom, and you pus=h any enemy within 2 squares of you, other than the target, 2 squares.  U=ntil the end of your next turn any enemy that tries to move adjacent to y=ou takes (as he moves into the adjacent square) an attack of opportunity.The two abilities work similarly but not the same.  At any one time you c=an only use the attack of opportunity from one of them, but not both (as =you only get the one attack on any particular creatures turn). But one yo=u can use any time and one you can use as an encounter power.=20Once you add repulsive armor to the mix this is how the second part of th=e power would go: target moves into attack you, as he becomes adjacent to= you he provokes an attack of opportunity, and ends his movement phase, a=s a immediate reaction your armors daily power pushes the enemy one squar=e back (assuming you used the power during this encounter).  At this poin=t he has the option of giving up the rest of his turn (and not getting to= attack) to move up to you again.  This would not provoke another attack =of opportunity as you already did one on this opponents turn. but as the =Repulsion Armor's ability last until the end of the encounter he would be= pushed back again. The nice thing about that armor is that you can move =up to an opponent, but they cannot move up to you.=20Thanks guys. I'll wait for your comments to see what you think.</blockquote>
