Triggered Movement

[Steve]

A character has Trigger on a movement power, with something like "whenever they want to use it" as the Trigger.

 

An AE attack is targeted, prompting a desire to get away before it hits.

 

Could the character just use the Triggered movement power instead of making a Dive For Cover roll?

[Steve Long]

That's up to the GM, who has to decide whether that's a "defensive action" the character could Abort to -- or whether he wants to set the precedent of letting it be done anyway with a Trigger that takes no time. Personally I'd allow it as an Abort, no question -- but reasonable GM minds may differ.
