[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 91221, member: 1118"] Basically, the underlying rule is if you move within someone's threat range you could suffer an AoO (there are a couple of caveats with the 5-ft step and double moves). It never states that *you* moved, just that you move within the threat range. An AoO is supposed to be a free attack when someone lowers their defences. If someone was standing in front of you, and then got pushed to the side by someone else, there will be a moment there in which that person fails about for balance and what have you. It's that moment at which you take the AoO. Anyway, with Bull Rush, this is not really a great tactic because you basically need to have all your allies standing around the person you are pushing and even then you might get hit instead of them. I'm sorry if it doesn't jive with your sense of how things are supposed to work, but it fits with mine and with the rules (why bother to go into detail about the chances of hitting the wrong person with an AoO if AoO aren't to be a common thing with it?) Again - if you dropped some of the sarcastic remarks people might be a little more open to what you are saying. I'm not saying that you should never be sarcastic, but if you get people's backs up with the tone of your words, they'll be harder to convince that the words themselves are right. IceBear [/QUOTE]
