(Very late comment, but only just found the question now) | |

Shifting was a defensive move that worked much like disengage, only it actually shifted you backwards one space as part of it. Just my thoughts. | |
| Feb 3, 2016 at 12:47 | comment | added | Falco | @likewyise The Action Disengage is confusingly named. It should be read as "Go into Opportunity-Attack Prevention Mode until the end of your turn" So if you use this Action you can then move away without provoking Attacks. But the move is separate from the Action. So you can ready either the move, or the Action, not both. But couldn't you just trigger a move action on "Enemy moves into X feet" ? So you move away one step before he is in attack range ? | |

You can choose to ready Disengage (which would be useless as I've gone over in my answer) or you can choose to move, in which case the creature would get an opportunity attack if you move out of its reach. | |
| Feb 3, 2016 at 11:55 | comment | added | likewyise | Ok but I'm just using one readying the disengage action not move, if the creature come towards me I disengage through the other side. My confusion on this matter is that if the creature comes near me and I ready an action to move passing near him I would get attacked, am I right in making this assumption that I might get attacked? | |

| Feb 3, 2016 at 11:43 | comment | added | Greenstone Walker | For the action taken in response to the trigger, you can take an action (disengage) or move, but not both. In your example, you couldn't disengage to the other side. | |
| Feb 3, 2016 at 11:42 | comment | added | likewyise | Maybe but consider this scenario imagine that the creature can move 30 feet and I'm exactly at 30 feet from him , then he comes towards me as soon as he comes near me I could disengage to the other side, where one of my companions is that way it wouldn't not provoke Attacks of opportunity, if I would go from the same side where he is it would provoke attacks of opportunity wouldn't it? | |
