[QUOTE="melkoriii, post: 815005, member: 2162"] Here are some scenarios for why AoO shouldn’t provoke AoO. 1) Fighter Attacks Barbarian to Sunder his Axe (Provoking AoO). SO the Barbarian swings up to Sunder the Sword of the Fighter. How can the Fighter stop his down swing and attack the Barbarian which will not stop the Barbarian from sundering his sword? 2) Orc Runs by Fighter to attach the Wizard behind him (Provoking AoO). Fighter attempts to Trip the Orc as he runs by. How can the Orc who is heading to attach the Wizard and letting his guard down to the Fighter, going to attack the Fighter? 3) Fighter in melee with a Barbarian needs to take a Healing Potion and can not take a 5’ step out of the Barbarian’s reach (Provoking AoO). Barbarian does not want Fighter to drink the potion and attacks the potion to knock it out of the Fighters hand. How can the Fighter, who is trying to drink a potion, going to attack the Barbarian?
