Hey,about three counts. I've seen many three counts interrupted by being hit or such, but what about when something rifts in? If you hit it will it stop rifting or what? I'm just wandering what three counts can be interrupted. Thanks.

It is a three count for coming into that material realm. The object is not fully in our realm for you to hit just yet.
As is my understanding. It's simply the three count of "magically" appearing.
BTW - you're not supposed to use that three count for attempting to beat on it...You're supposed to use that to imprison yourself or run!

Hmm, I've usually seen it played just the opposite: that rifting creatures are vulnerable during their three count. Hitting them doesn't interrupt the rift, but they do take damage. It's a perfect time to beat on them.

I'm with Stu on this one. I've always seen it played (and have played it, for that matter) that while rifting, the creature is wide open to attack. It would only stop the rift if the creature used some sort of defense against the beat/spell down.
I don't know that I've ever seen such a ruling for or against in writing, though.

Thanks for the answers, but how about this...What if you hit something in this plane? Like, for instance and undead rising from the ground? Or a werewolf in the middle of transforming?

They would both take the damage if they are affected by the weapon type or spell. It would not interrupt the rising or transforming unless it was enough to kill or destroy them.
A killing blow can be interrupted though by knocking the weapon out of the way or the individual doing the killing blow takes body damage.

ok now here is a question.....i know the chances are really really really slim of this ever happening (mostly cause the only way it would is if someone was metagaming or something like that) but what if something is giving a killing blow as they were rifting in?
Like i said the chances are slim of this happening but it would be better to get a ruling on it now before someone tries it IG.

If they begin to rift before the killing blow is given they would rift out/in before the killing blow was complete. It is not a race of who can say it the fastest. So when they rift in they would immediatly move away from your killing blow making it fail. Now if you start the killing blow before they start their rifting out, then I'd say it would be successful. But, as an NPC if you did that to me, I'd move away before I started my rift.
