[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1805232, member: 5777"] SRD: Attack Rolls: An attack roll represents your attempts to strike your opponent. Your attack roll is 1d20 + your attack bonus with the weapon you’re using. If the result is at least as high as the target’s AC, you hit and deal damage. ATTACK ROLL An attack roll represents your attempt to strike your opponent on your turn in a round. When you make an attack roll, you roll a d20 and add your attack bonus. (Other modifiers may also apply to this roll.) If your result equals or beats the target’s Armor Class, you hit and deal damage. Oh? I dont see it. Also, in the glossary it doesnt talk about multiple attacks in this flurry. Nor does it in one section about attack rolls. Only a single section even mentions it. Of course then certain spells dont really make any sense (such as true strike). Seems like that was just a bad piece of flavor text which doesnt qualify everywhere. Merely someone putting something in that doesnt actually work. Too bad it wasnt removed, but then there are other parts of the rules that werent clarified properly ::shrugs:: That it doesnt follow the rules. One cannot simply choose to make an aoo whenever one is floating around. While being able to make an aoo when you have no way of knowing it was provoked may be possible because the rules dont specifically say, 'if you have no way of knowing that it happens then you dont get to make the roll' I think it is pretty silly to assume otherwise ;) More to the point, why would one assume that you can make this attack at any random time such as that? Sounds like a bit of a gray area (perhaps they simply assumed, wrongly, that it would be clear that if you have no way of knowing about something then you cant directly do something about it.. too bad for them if so).
