[QUOTE="OakwoodDM, post: 3947093, member: 8609"] I don't know about you, but if I were faced by a dragon (and had the courage not to collapse to teh ground in fear) I would NOT be just standing there. I would be dodging, ducking, bobbing and weaving as though my life depended on it (which it would). At the point I decided to cast the spell, though, I'd have to stop all that movement and concentrate on getting the words, movements and materials right. That's when the dragon spots a dropping of my guard and gets an AoO. So you think enemies should get AoOs against paralysed people but not against doors or statues, which are taking the same actions as the people, because they are people? I realise that the psionic power thing is off, but it's not like it's the only weird and non-rules friendly bit of the psionic rules. Personally, I'd rather either forbid the paralysed psion from manifesting (your mind is wracked with pain, you can't form a coherent thought) or prevent AoOs on the paralysed psion caused by his manifesting than give AoOs against involuntarily unmoving people.
