[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 5316062, member: 5143"] I have a couple of questions about my character. He is a Fighter who has Polearm Momentum(Martial Power), Polearm Gamble(Player's Handbook), Swift Spear(Dragon Magazine 378), Forceful Opportunist(Dragon Magazine 379), and has taken Polearm Master(Martial Power) as his Paragon Path. He wields a Greatspear. The Polearm Master has the following level 11 class feature: Forceful Reach (11th level): If you use a reach weapon to deliver a weapon power that pushes, pulls, or slides a target, you increase the distance of the forced movement by 1 square. I have a couple of questions: 1. When someone moves adjacent to me from non-adjacent that triggers an Opportunity Attack. Does shifting from a non-adjacent square to an adjacent square trigger the same opportunity? 2. When someone provokes the Opportunity Attack from Polearm Gamble does my Combat Superiority class figure trigger, thereby stopping their movement before they can get adjacent to me(leaving them 2 squares away from me with their movement ended)? 3. When I hit with an Opportunity Attack via Polearm Gamble, I am able to slide the target 1 square to a space adjacent to me and I am also able to push them 1 square and shift into the square they vacated(due to Swift Spear and Forceful Opportunist. a) Does the Forceful Reach class feature add to the pushes and slides provided by these two feats? b) If a) is true, does Polearm Momentum cause the target to be knocked prone when I use either of these feats to push or slide 2 squares? c) Do both the feats trigger on the same hit(i.e. can I slide the target 2 squares to a space adjacent to me and THEN push them 2 squares and shift into the vacated square)? d) If c) is true, which order do I resolve them in? Can I choose? 4. The Polearm Master gives a Daily Utility at level 12 called Reaching Stance which says: "Effect: Until the stance ends, you can make opportunity attacks against enemies within your weapon's reach." Does this allow me to take Opportunity Attacks against targets who leave a space 2 squares away from me or does it simply let me attack people who use ranged attacks 2 squares away from me? 5. I've had two different DM friends of mine tell me that this combination is horribly broken and they refuse to DM if I bring this character to the table(it's a Living Forgotten Realms character). What does everyone else think? [/QUOTE]
