A bit confused here about hydra heads. The MM states that all the hydra's heads make attacks of opportunity using its combat reflexes feat.
Does this mean that each head gets multiple AoO if multiple openings arise? (eg 2 PCs charge it, each PC gets attacked 5 times by the 5 headed hydra. Or a PC moves within threatened area and casts a spell=10 AoO.)
I am thinking that this must be the case because otherwise it wouldn't matter if ALL the hydra's heads were allowed to be used for AoO- one would be sufficient to make the AoOs. However, it seems rather nasty.
Any thoughts? Has anyone seen any official rulings on this? Am I simply missing something?
