[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 2784163, member: 2020"] You are in the Balin's Tomb Fight. That orc 15 feet away is snarling at you. You move 10 feet, then attack. Your attack kills that orc. Then 2 orcs decide to move past you, heading in the opposite direction, towards Boromir. Due to the Fog of War, they do not deliberately deter around you (because they are not paying attention to you, but to Boromir.) So they both enter your Threatened Squares, then depart them. Departing them triggers your AOO. You may make one AOO against each of them. Then you see Boromir is in trouble with the cave troll. You charge the cave troll, to stop it from squashing Boromir. But in so doing, you pass by the 2 orcs who are also engaged with Boromir. You enter and then leave their Threatened Squares. Both of those orcs get AOO against you. Now the cave troll is paying attention to you. It bull rushes you, pushing you back 20 feet, past the 2 orcs, and the 3 more rushing up. The 3 orcs don't get AOO, since you are only entering their Threatened Squares, but the 2 orcs gleefully strike at you again as you leave their Threatened Squares. Then they move up to attack you. Meanwhile, Sam is banging away with his pans (BANG! I think I've got the hang of this! BANG!) Sam bangs one orc, downing him. He turns and moves, and bangs another orc next round. But there were 2 other orcs with the orc he first banged. Sam just left their Threatened Squares, so they both get AOO against him. And unfortunately for Sam, he also just left the Threat Range of the Cave Troll (who was concentrating on Aragorn.) So it gets an AOO also. The new orc Sam just banged goes down. But the second orc had a spear, which threatens out to 10 feet, and Sam is 10 feet out. That orc gets an AOO. Master Samwise didn't get the 'hang' of it very well at all, did he? :) (Incidentally, the pan counts as a, what, light weapon? Sam has a - 4 to hit with it, being non-proficient. If he hits, he does 1d2 points with it (improvised Small Weapon, correct?) plus strength (in Sam's case, + 2 or + 3. Sam is pretty strong.) [/QUOTE]
