[QUOTE="Aluvial, post: 966694, member: 6862"] The other night I started to question the ability to cast on the defensive. In many instances, it seems like a caster would always try this alternative than risking an AoO. At a DC of 15 + spell level, this Concentration check is easily made by many mid level casters for their various spells. Yes, there is a risk of failure, but with a minimal bonus for Constitution, say a +1, and the maximum ranks you can dump into it, a 9th level caster can get a +13 on this roll. Not to shabby. It basically allows you to cast spells at anytime without to much fear of being smacked. I propose the opposed roll for this. I'm not sure if this has come up before, but this is the method my players and I came up with recently. [b]Basically the caster needs to make a Opposed Check, His Concentration check minus the spell level versus the opponent (who has a AoO left) Attack Roll. If the Caster is higher, no chance for AoO. If the Attacker is higher than roll again for the AoO attempt and follow the rules as normal.[/b] What do you guys think? Is there another solution? Aluvial [/QUOTE]
