[QUOTE="npiccini, post: 2304221, member: 18769"] Charging does not change the AoO rules. It is a full round attack action that will trigger an AoO if the attacker satisfies the AoO rules, i.e. she exits a threatened square (most common means of provoking one). A careful reading of the rules & examination of the battle board (if you use one), should allow an attacker to pretty much avoid one (unless of course they are charging that pesky giant with reach!).... Can't answer the miniatures game question cause I dont have the miniatures handbook nor do I play the skirmish game. My instincts would indicate that no...a 5' step in the regular rules is not an action either. It is free as part of a full-round action. A character is not able to remove an item from a potion belt (move-equiv), swing a sword (standard act) AND take a 5' step. Many Many Many of my PC's forget that quite often. I hope that helps!
