[QUOTE="ourchair, post: 5093160, member: 85362"] I'm sure there is another thread discussing AOs, but I can't be buggered to find it right now, hence the tongue in cheek thread title. Anyway, as far as I can tell, the RAW declares that attacks of opportunity are made when: a) an opponent leaves your threatened square (but NOT when he enters your threatened square) b) when an opponent within range uses a ranged or area attack power including close bursts. In our first game of 4e last year, we played with the assumption that forced movement leaving the threatened square provokes AOs, which is exciting for everyone because slamming a guy 3 squares parallel to a row of allies causes a big old AO party. Unfortunately, the RAW says forced movement doesn't cause AOs. Which doesn't make sense to me fluff-wise, but I've accepted because I don't want to use fluff interpretations to determine rules intent. What are your takes on that subject? Do you count AOs during forced movement? Or have I actually gotten it right, and by right, I mean I'm getting it wrong and AOs ARE provoked during forced movement making my interpretation of the RAW wrong? (/mojojojo) [/QUOTE]
