[QUOTE="olshanski, post: 4200304, member: 7441"] I haven't read the 4E rules yet, so I am not sure about the terminology. Is a "shift" something special, or is it the same as normal movement? One of my main concerns with the exceptions-based rules of 4E rather than the modular rules of 3.x, is that the more exceptional rules you have, the more likely it is that something will be overlooked and need clarification. For example: If one creature has an ability "Can make an AoO whenever an opponent does X" and another creature has an ability "Not subject to AoO when doing X", then which one is correct if the situation arises? Now, granted, these abilities are probably not an example of my concern... Is a "sudden strike" an AoO? It appears that if a crownwing used flyby attack on a swordwing, that the swordwing couldn't use its Sudden Strike... I guess I don't have much to add for this post, other than a vague uneasy feeling. [/QUOTE]
