[QUOTE="Waldo, post: 1038064, member: 13316"] If you become that literal, what about the following then? My full attack incurs an AoO because a part of that action, a disarm draws one. Therefore, it is the full attack that draws the AoO. As a result, I can disarm 3 times with my full attack and only draw one attack of opportunity. 3.5 says, "Moving out of a threatened square usually provokes an attack of opportunity from the threatening opponent." It does not say that the move action provokes an attack of opportunity. Besides, as you say, that makes no sense, really. We know what the rules are trying to create, not the technical details of when a 'trigger' occurs. Although we are curious about when an AoO occurs after a trigger. I agree with you, an AoO must happen during the action. Again... in either of these scenarios, does that [i]prevent[/i] the person from finishing the action? He grits his teeth against the searing pain in his knuckles and picks up the sword. He flops over again and finishes standing up. I don't feel that we have any rules to decide either way, sadly. Personally, I feel that trip is too strong if you can be chain tripped and nothing in the rules states it must be so. So I'll go with the original poster. [/QUOTE]
