I guess you could allow it. But you also have to keep in mind that this is extremely powerful in the hands of a barbarian. I have one in my group for example who has when raged and is frezied (he's a barbarian with the frezied berzerker PC, which may be an extreme example) a Str. score of something above 30 (usually bull's str. is active as well of course), and since he's wielding a 2-handed-weapon he deals like 15 damage without even rolling (not countig a possibly used power attack, which would be even way worse). Most monsters - no matter how strong - can't match him and will almost always fail to grapple him, so for those it's a free pass to never get grappled (well, close at least). So he should at least get a reasonable penalty for the AoO (maybe -4?) since he's trying to hit a smaller part of the creature, which increases that parts AC since all bonuses are the same except the size modifier. Generalizing this with a -4 should even things out at least a little in most cases.</p></blockquote><p></p>
