[QUOTE="Corwin, post: 47454, member: 1560"] Actually, the "other designers" intended it to be one AoO per opponent per violation. So, just running through your threatened area would only draw one AoO. If they then ended their move still in your reach and cast a spell, you would get another one. One per provocation. I like it this way. Makes Combat Reflexes a bit more interesting. I've seen people deliberately move around an opponent to draw the AoO so that they could then pull off something else in their threat range without suffering the AoO that would mess them up (mainly grapple attempts and spellcasting). BTW, quick aside... As far as I know, each square you threaten is not a "separate threatened area". You have one [b]area[/b] which consists of all your threatened [i]squares[/i]. So moving through three sqares past an orc is still only one violation of the AoO rule. [/QUOTE]
