Both have a reach of 10'.Normally the fighter expects to get his AOO when any creature enters his threat range, so he holds action until after the minotaur comes within 10', but the minotaur has a reach weapon too. So it stands just over 10' away and tries to strike the spear with it huge axe. This acording to the rules provoke an attack of opertunity, but the minotaur is out of range of the spear.The PC wants to have an AOO on the minotaur, but I argue its out of range and to do so the PC would have to take a 5' step first which would give the minotaur an AOO.Who do you think is right here?Tom</blockquote>
