Say that character is attacked, the attacker rolls to hit, hits and then rolls for damage agaInterrupt jumps in when an action occurs, taking place before it finishes, among other things.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29467327/Artificer_Resistive_Formula_Infusion_-_Free_Action_-_Timing?post_id=525709885#525709885Interrupt jumps in when an action occurs, taking place before it finishes, among other things.Fri, 02 Nov 2012 12:43:53 -0500Alcestis, they're using the 'common' meaning of the word interrupt, which is the source of the discrepancy. If you do something that makes an attack in progress not happen, it's not unreasonable to call that 'interrupting the attack.'

That isn't happening here, even if you allow the free action to resolve between steps of an attack.http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29467327/Artificer_Resistive_Formula_Infusion_-_Free_Action_-_Timing?post_id=525706289#525706289Again, you don't understand the rules.

You keep saying that the rules say Free Actions can be used at any time and that the rules would need to tell you when you can't use them; not only does that first rule not exhttp://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/29467327/Artificer_Resistive_Formula_Infusion_-_Free_Action_-_Timing?post_id=525699675#525699675Munchkin fallacy.[/quote]Hah, have you even listened to your own argument?
