Seeing a friend in danger, you step up to take the attack meant for your ally—and then you strike back.

Encounter   ✦     Martial
Immediate Interrupt      Close burst 2

Trigger: An ally within 2 squares of you is hit by an attack and you are not included in the attack.

Effect: You and the ally shift up to 2 squares as a free action, swapping positions. You become the target of the triggering attack, in place of the ally. After the attack is resolved, you can make a basic attack against the attacker.
