[QUOTE="Zenon, post: 304634, member: 352"] Yes, I agree with you here. I do wish the rule was clearer and at least stated you had to be aware of the action to take the AoO. It's not only "what I want it to do", it is what makes any kind of common sense. My common sense tells me that in order to exploit a weakness or lack of guard, one must be able to perceive it. I do not call it by a GM subjective whim. I call it making a judgement to how this will work for all parties involved, at all times, PC and NPC alike. You can call it a "house rule" if you'd like, I describe it as a rules clarification to close a loophole: If you don't like loophole, call it a house rule, it matters not to me. The clarification is simple: You must be aware of the action that provokes the AoO to take the AoO. This is common sense because the world is too dangerous of a place if all the fighters are contantly walking around swinging blindly at random squares just in case a flying invisible silenced creature might be travelling through them.
