Where does it say that foes with reach will still hit?
On page 268 of the PHB in the rules for immediate interrupt. It says if your enemy can no longer reach you the enemies attack action is lost. For that sentence to make any kind of sense you have to assume that if you are still within reach of the attack you might still be hit and take damage.

Poorly written then. They should have stated clearly what happens in the effect with reach
Uh.... So every power that doesn't explicitly call out its interactions with every single general rule of the game that could interact with it is poorly written? This is an exception based rules system. General rules ALWAYS apply and only when something changes them does it need to say so. The rule book would be 50,000 pages long if it spelled everything out 100 times over in nauseating detail. Totally unreadable and impossible to maintain on top of that. Sorry, the power is written exactly the way it should be. There is just no other reasonable way to do it.
That is not dead which may eternal lie

Although the fluff does not have any bearing on the rules of the game, in this particular case it more than hints at the intent of the power. A sixteenth level daily when damn near everything that you are fighting has reach seams a bit underpowered if you can't actually do what the power says most of the time: Evade the blow. Has this been faq'd?

As a level 16 ranger "shift 1 square" quite possibly means "shift 2 squares". And if you're at the edge of their reach it still works.
Also: Everything you fight at level 16 has reach? Wow, you must be doing a pure monster themed campaign, because medium humanoids (one of the most common enemy types) barely ever have reach, no matter the level.

Is there a feat that gives an unconditional "shift 2", if so, I'd like to know what it is. And no, that question is not tinged with sarcasm.
