What happens if I use Vampire Slam as an opportunity attack to push a creature out of the range of its...

The power in question, Vampire Slam, is:




Vampire Slam (Vampire Attack 1)



At-Will ✦ Implement, Shadow
Standard Action Melee 1
Target: One creature
Attack: Dexterity vs. Reflex
Hit: 1d10 + Dexterity modifier damage, and you can push the target 1 square.
Special: You can use this power as a melee basic attack.




(Heroes of Shadow page 53)



Now, this power can be used as a melee basic attack and can thus be used as an opportunity attack.



Suppose a monster wants to use, say, a Ranged 5 power when exactly 5 squares away from one of the Vampire's allies when the Vampire is adjacent to the monster. The ranged power provokes an opportunity attack from the Vampire, who uses Vampire Slam to push the monster so that it is now 6 squares away from the Vampire's ally, and now the Vampire’s ally is out of range of the monster’s attack.



What happens now?



Does the power function normally? Does the power fail, and if so, if the power was an encounter power, is it expended?, If the power fails, is the action that used the power lost?

          • An opportunity action is similar to an immediate interrupt, but it can be taken once per turn, rather than once per round.

          • An immediate interrupt jumps in when its trigger occurs, taking place before the trigger finishes. If an interrupt invalidates a triggering action, that triggering action is lost.

            The power is interrupted and expended.



            There are several actions in response to enemy triggers. To simplify those actions:



            Opportunity Action - someone tries to hit you, but you can hit them first. If your attack kills them, their attack never happens. Example: Opportunity attacks.




            PH 268: An opportunity action interrupts the action that triggered it. It completes prior to the interrupted action, and if the interrupted action becomes impossible to complete, it is lost.




            Immediate Reaction - someone hits you, you instantly smack them back. If their attack kills you, your attack never happens. Example: Warden's Grasp.



            Immediate Interrupt - The same as opportunity actions, but only once per turn. Example: Warden's Fury.
            You have only one immediate action/turn, if you use a reaction, you can't use an interrupt and vice-versa.

                              How to label and detect the document text images

                              1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...

                              Tabula Rosettana

                              Image
                              Tabula multilinguis Rosettana in Museo Britannico ostenditur. Tabula Rosettana, [1] etiam titulo OGIS 90 agnita, est stela decreto de rebus sacris in Aegypto anno 196 a.C.n. lato inscripta. Tabula iuxta Rosettam Aegypti, urbem in delta Nili et ad oram maris Mediterranei iacentem, anno 1799 a milite Francico reperta est. Inventio stelae, linguis duabus scripturisque tribus inscriptae, eruditis Instituti Aegypti statim nuntiata est; ibi enim iussu imperatoris Napoleonis eruditi omnium scientiarum (sub aegide Commissionis Scientiarum et Artium) properaverant cum expeditione Francica. Qua a Britannis mox debellata, tabula Rosettana Londinium missa hodie apud Museum Britannicum iacet. Textus Graecus cito lectus interpretationi textuum Aegyptiorum (in formis hieroglyphica et demotica expressorum) gradatim adiuvit. Denique textum plene interpretatus est Ioannes Franciscus Champollion. Ab opere eruditorum cumulativo coepit hodiernus scripturae hieroglyphicae linguaeque Aegyptiae a...
