A +15 to hit guy has as much chance to get an AoO as a -4 to hit guy. They both get them if and only if the enemy drops his guard. Their skill and prowess and technique and gruesome visage have nothing whatsoever to do with it. Their skill prowes etc do not provoke aoos.When casting on the defensive, the mage has already decided to not concentrate on the spell enough to cause any guard dropping. Regardles of the roll, or his skill at concentration, or any other factor at all... their is no AoO. Their is no opening for an extra attack. their is no swing for bab to matter. All that remains is... "can i get this spell off without the concentration and distraction i would normally use?"Low level casters, they have a tough time meeting that dc15+spell. Midlevel casters get easier and higher than that its a given... IF the caster spent enough skills to max the concentration skill.that doesn't seem wrong to me in the slightest. Think of it this way... low level casters are very distracted by casting spells. It is a touygh mental task for them and they lose focus on other events.for those casters who decide to work at it, spending their time on "casting prowess" (concentration) instead of knowledge undead and knowledge arcanum and alchemy, they can cut down this distraction and by enem lower high levels get to the point that casting a spell is instinctive and not really a distraction at all. of course, their comrades who did not focus their studies this way have other areas of knowledge that the now instinctive caster lacks.This doesn't feel wrong to me.Its kind of the skill equivalent of one caster spending feats on spell focus and craft while another spends on silent spell and still spell...</blockquote>
