Everyone *does* have a power that's an opportunity action power. It's called "Opportunity Attack". It's an opportunity power that is triggered by an enemy willing leaving a square adjacent to you without shifting. The effect is that it allows you to make a melee basic attack against the triggering enemy.

It's one of the basic "powers" that everyone gets access to without having it actually put on a power card: Bull Rush, Charge, Coup De Grace, Crawl, Delay, Escape, Grab, Ready, Run, Second Wind, Shift, Squeeze, Stand Up, Total Defense, and Walk.

By your GM's interpretation, a player wouldn't be able to shift if they didn't have an explicitly written power that included shifting in the effect or grab a target if they didn't have a power that allowed them to grab.
