[QUOTE="JGulick, post: 4483283, member: 66409"] IMO, no. The trigger is being hit not being attacked, so the attack has already been made and resolved. Any OA would need to come BEFORE you resolve the attack. Or, in a more orderly fashion... 1) Announce attack (determines type of attack and target) 1i) Check for and resolve OAs, Trigger any Interrupts based on Attacking, potentially changing or negating the attack 2) Resolve attack (determines hit or miss) 2i) Trigger any Interrupts based on Hitting or Missing, potentially changing the hit/miss/damage 3) Apply results of the hit (Xi) can negate or modify (X) because that's what interrupts do. In this case, (2i) can mess with (2) by, for example, moving your ally out of Line of Effect. But it can't take you "back in time" to an already resolved step (1). This is clearly answered on PHB288, under "End Beneficial Effects when You Delay". "You can't prolong a beneficial effect by delaying." [/QUOTE]
