[QUOTE="Dr_Ruminahui, post: 5131056, member: 81104"] I would play it NOman's way - its most in line with how other interupts work, such as immediate interupt powers such as the PH2 lvl 6 Sorceror Utility "Sudden Scales" that "Gives you +x defence when hit by an enemy attack" - it (and other such powers) obviously give you a bonus to defences for that attack, with the intent that doing such will turn the hit to a miss and therefore invalidate the trigger. I see this as no different - its an interupt, so if your attack gives you HPs/temp HPs, those go into the pool that are removable by the attack, which likely (but may not) result in the Minotaur staying conscious. In my opinion, Chzbro's interpretation is making it a non-interupt. I would also like to throw in my 2 cents that I'm not happy with it being an interupt action - means that you can't use it if you happen to have used a different interupt that turn (such as Sudden Scales, or Combat Challenge), nor if you are taken down in your own turn (be it from an opportunity attack, ongoing damage, an aura, damaging terrain or a zone). Not sure what action they could have made it to deal with these concerns, though... and I must admit that the "no opportunity/immediate actions on your own turn" leads to some rules interactions that I don't like (such as delaying one's movement to the fighter's turn to avoid his Combat Challenge attack).
