[QUOTE="fuzzlewump, post: 4200360, member: 63214"] Shift is the new 5-foot step, but I think some powers allow you to shift more than 1 square. Shifting is defined as a voluntary movement that doesn't provoke opportunity attacks unless explicitly stated. Any character can spend a move action to shift 1 square. Some powers allow you to shift as well as part of the standard action required to use the power, or whatever action it happens to be. Movement provokes opportunity attacks just as they did in 3.0 and 3.5, that is, when you move away from or around something. Sudden strike is the flavor name, the crunch is "(immediate reaction, when an adjacent enemy shifts; at-will)." An immediate reaction is one you can use outside of your own turn when an opponent triggers the condition. So, when an enemy adjacent to the swordwing shifts, or takes a "5-foot step", he uses this ability. The ability on a hit does 2d6 extra damage. The crownwing's flying does not count as shifting, because just like in 3.5, movement isnot defined as a series of 5-foot steps. You're right in saying that the swordwings reaction doesn't trigger against the crownwings flight. Doubly if the crownwing was targeting the swordwing with its flyby attack. Edit: Hmmm... yeah what they said. :cool: [/QUOTE]
