It doesn't _really_ solve the question conclusively, though. The No Action Unseen Hand still clearly happens after the damage - after all, otherwise sliding the target away would prevent the damage
I must disagree here.
The trigger is on the Hit, before Damage. It is also a No Action, not an Immediate Reaction to damaging a foe. And yes, if you Slide the creature away of your range by doing so, it would prevent damage.. so just don't slide him away but in a better position for you and your allies.
There are some situation where i can see a viable "slide the foe away from damage" would be wanted : very nasty foes with deadly auras, so even if you do slide him away from you without doing damage, it can prevent the PC or his allies from dying OR sliding the foes into a 100' foot deep pit, filled with magma and deadly fire-shark elemental
Not every power is about damage.. for me, tactical positioning trumps damage.
