[QUOTE="Mengu, post: 4543192, member: 65726"] How does Transposing Lunge work with Aegis of Shielding? My interpretation was: [COLOR=white][I]Marked enemy attacks ally.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][I]Marked enemy does damage to ally.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][I]Swordmage uses Shielding Aegis to reduce damage.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][I]Swordmage uses Transposing Lunge as part of Shielding Aegis to attack marked enemy.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][I]Swordmage teleports marked enemy to an adjacent space.[/I][/COLOR] [COLOR=white][I]Marked enemy continues with its remaining actions.[/I][/COLOR] But I seem to have a disagreement with another player. He says it's an immediate interrupt, not an immediate reaction, and therefore, the teleportation should completely negate the attack. His argument: [FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][COLOR=white][I]Aegis of Shielding/Trans Lunge combo is an immediate interrupt.[/I][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][COLOR=white][I]Immediate interrupts happen before the triggering event is resolved. [/I][/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=MentorSansStd-Light][COLOR=white][I]The triggering event is invalidated so the action is invalid (no valid target). [/I][/COLOR][/FONT] I understand that immediate interrupts are sometimes meant to negate an attack, I have no problem with that. But I just can't wrap my head around how an interrupt that reduces damage (Shielding Aegis) can turn into an interupt that negates the attack when combined with another power. If someone can give me a clean explanation of how this is supposed to work by the rules, I'd really appreciate it. [/QUOTE]
