[QUOTE="Pielorinho, post: 624223, member: 259"] Nope -- the [i]only[/i] time movement ever draws an AoO is when you move [i]out of[/i] a threatened square. Moving into a threatened square doesn't draw an AoO -- although if you're moving from threatened square A to threatened square B (both threatened by the same opponent), that movement draws an AoO, since you were moving out of threatened square A. Furthermore, touch spells aren't discharged by a missed attack. After the cleric missed the rogue with his Slay Living attack, he could have held the spell's charge and tried to hit the rogue again next round. But why did he go into battle with that spell prepared, if he was planning on taking prisoners? Wouldn't Greater Command have been a better choice? It does sound like a fun battle! I think the DM made some rules-errors and some tactics-errors and was super-generous with the pack-full-of-plants trick, but as long as everyone had fun, that's what matters. My rules-points above will hopefully be helpful in future fights. Daniel who just learned that Protection from Evil doesn't help you against hold person :(. [/QUOTE]
