[QUOTE="Stoutstien, post: 8635222, member: 7020569"] That's not how specific rules work. Specific rules can contradict general rules but those special rules still have to work with at least themselves. Shield says you must be hit to trigger the reaction bit the reaction can prevent the trigger. It doesn't include a clause to exempt that attack from fulfilling the requirements so you just have to go with the RAI/RTMS. Any reaction that somehow retroactively occurs before the trigger is already in trouble and if they can potentially prevent the trigger they are asking for confusion. When next was in playtest reactions were different and as they moved forward it got lost in the shuffle. The good news with AOs is the general reaction rules still apply which allows the target to continue their turn with the knowledge the reaction occured at that point in time. I.e. they can stop moving even if it retroactively prevents the trigger. It says "can"continue not "must". [/QUOTE]
