Does Falling Provoke AoO?

[Aulirophile]

There was no official rule on this till the RC came out. Now there is. The RC says no.

Enjoy.

1. Creature always falls straight down

2. Creature falls at an angle in the direction it last moved

3. Creature falls in direction it chooses

4. Creature falls in direction the player who forced it chooses

Assuming the flight effect has already worn off, there is no way for the character to choose which way he falls (besides throwing heavy objects in the opposite direction). If you want to go for "realism," then option 2 seems the best.

If Falling is considered Forced Movement then that resolves the issue: No OAs

If there is an official ruling on this in the Rules Compendium, looks like I need to read it properly as opposed to skimming through it, merrily mumbling something about having the up to date version of the rules, and then continuing to do as I see fit.
