Warlord- Leaf on the Wind and OAs

So, the 1st level Warlord encounter exploit Leaf on the Wind lets you or an ally swap places with an adjacent enemy. Since that is a "swap," it's NOT a push, pull or slide, and thus it is not one of the moves immune from Opportunity Attacks. So, if you are adjacent to both the enemy and the ally, and a swap leaves the enemy adjacent to you, does it provoke an OA? (Or the ally, if the same facts apply and you switch.)

It's not a push, pull, or slide, but it's also not movement. The intent seems to me to be obvious, that it does not provoke OAs.

Swapping places is under the forced movement section. It just is on the next page from where the section starts :)

You slide the target into your square, then shift into the square they vacated.

So while the swapping movement doesn't normally provoke OAs, it is important to note that the swapper is still "shifting" and can be targeted by things like the Combat Challenge of a fighter.

Ah, thanks!
