[QUOTE="Ferghis, post: 5877109, member: 40483"] I have some confusion about this. Several instances (powers, items, creatures) use the same language: they don't draw an OA for moving into an enemy's square. Sometimes they even say that they don't draw an OA for moving out of the enemy's square. But they never (as far as I've seen) say that the power or ability in question protects you from OAs when leaving a square adjacent to an enemy with the same action. For example, the Zairtatil Swarm has Speed 8 and "can enter or move through an enemy's space without provoking opportunity attacks." In my mind, the difference between entering and moving through is that the former stops and the latter proceeds to other destinations. In that case, under RAW, the Zairtatil Swarm would move from a square adjacent to the enemy, to the enemy's square, to a square past the enemy (and none of these would draw an OA), and then potentially to another square. That last square of movement would draw an OA, per RAW. Is the entire benefit of this just to reposition around one enemy? Or string movement between enemies, but you can't actually get away from enemies? [/QUOTE]
