[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 153018, member: 2011"] Says you. :) I think since it is the only line, that it applies to all examples. In fact, the SRD does not have the goblin example listed in it at all. I think one AoO per enemy means one AoO per enemy. I do not think one AoO per enemy means that given another opportunity, that you can get a second attack on that one enemy. One per enemy means one per enemy. It does not mean one per enemy per opportunity. I think that if they had meant one AoO per enemy per opportunity, they would have called it out. They did not do so. By default, it if does not say one AoO per enemy per opportunity, it must mean one AoO per enemy per round since the additional AoOs allowed by Combat Reflexes are per round. You are inferring that the second quote "one AoO per opportunity" means that if given multiple opportunities against the same enemy, that you can take multiple AoOs. That is an assumption on your part, not supported by the text. You have to also, as you point out, read the other section where it states "one AoO per enemy". It is all a matter of interpretation. You think that since the second sentence exists at all on page 122, that it must imply "one AoO per enemy per opportunity". I think that they put that sentence in there as additional supportive information. If you just were reading the Combat Reflexes information on page 122 and did not refer back to page 80 and they did NOT have that sentence in there, someone might think that they could get multiple AoOs in a single opportunity. You are interpreting due to the quote on page 122, inferring that it means more than it says. I am doing a literal interpretation of both "one AoO per enemy" and “one AoO per opportunity”. Btw, the Sage has agreed with me. Monty has agreed with you. I do, as I stated before, think that it should be as per your interpretation, I just do not think your interpretation is a literal one, Dude. [/QUOTE]
