Re: Falling: Does a falling creature provoke Opportunity Attacks on the way down? Based on this, and the lack of OoAs on forced movement, I would assume that other terrain-based forced movement would not provoke OoAs either.

Yes. From the PHB, page 290 (Opportunity Attack): "The most common form of opportunity action is an opportunity attack - a melee basic attack against the creature that provokes it." And the PHB, page 292 (Shift): "No Opportunity Attacks: If you shift out of a square adjacent to an enemy, you don't provoke an opportunity attack." This means that ...

As long as the enemy is a valid target of the MBA you can. The feat Repel Charge does not have an adjacency requirement so the character repelling the charge merely needs melee range on the person charging them. This is not an Opportunity Attack which does require adjacency, it's a set Opportunity Action. It's part of the same super set (Opportunity ...

I believe this was corrected at some point. The "swarm" entry was published in 4 different books (MM, MM2, RC, and Monster Vault: Threats to Nentir Vale). The quotation you used appears to be from the Monster Manual. The compendium uses different wording: Swarm A swarm is composed of multiple creatures but functions as a single creature. A swarm ...

1) For both scenarios, is my reasoning sound, and do they work as planned? No - Scenario 1 does not work, but scenario 2 does. 2) Specifically, does my own counterargument to Scenario 1 make it not work as desired? Your second counter argument looks correct. Your first is moot because of the second. You are using your move action to do the walk (or run, ...

to answer your questions: yes your reasoning is sound, but the enemy can choose not to continue his movement after your reaction. the caveat does not apply as you are taking a move action, even if it's a readied one. the character can definitely change his move in response to a changed battle field (IMO). So you can't force and opportunity attack here, ...

2nd scenario seems more sound to me going by what I believe I understand is going on from both scenarios. That said, its entirely up to DM Preference as stated. If its a dumb npc, maybe it won't notice or care. Also, I'd allow it even though in all aspects, if you did it off of that trigger type every time, you're hurting yourself more since the standard ...
