[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 3846623, member: 23094"] There was a discussion going on in the rules forum about someone who said that attacks by ranged weapons provoked AoOs (i.e., that the rules say you are able, by default, to cut a rock out of the air as it passes by you to hit your friend). I asked, if that were the case, would the same rock provoke an AoO if we attached it to the end of a stick. He said no, because then the guy swinging the rock on the stick would be adjacent, and ranged attacks wouldn't provoke AoOs if they were making the equivalent of 5-foot steps. I said, "But what if it's a really long stick?" He responded with my .sig: "A rock on a stick has a 5' reach unless otherwise specified." :D ---------------------------------------- Then there's my current title: "Torch-Carrying Meat-Snack." Not all that long ago, someone was discussing the differences between 3E and "classic" D&D parties, and referred to the hordes of shieldbearers, torchbearers, porters, and other assorted hirelings that used to accompany D&D adventurers by that term. It stuck. :) [/QUOTE]
