Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 2784196" data-attributes="member: 2020">Or how about this:  You backpedal (or sidepedal), and blunder right into an orc you did not notice, due to the Fog of War.  He was backpedalling (or sidepedalling), and blunders into you.  Both of you realize you have bigger and better foes to face (he wants to fight Gimli, you want to fight that orc with the spear) than each other, so both of you move away from each other at once.  Both of you immediately get AOO against the other, as you leave each other's Threatened Squares.  You move around the corner, backing away from the 3 orcs blitzing away at you (you're killing them fast:  there were 7 orcs blitzing at you last round.)  But around the corner are 2 more orcs, busy fighting Merry.  Merry and his combat moves past you into another part of the room, while your combat continues to backpedal towards where Legolas is shooting orcs down.  But, as this happens:  You get AOO against all of Merry's orcs.  Merry gets AOO against all of your orcs.  Merry's orcs all get AOO against you.  All of your orcs get AOO against Merry.    ALL of you (You, Merry, your orcs, Merry's orcs) are too busy fighting, to pay attention to whether you are safely 6 feet away from an enemy combatant!  Yes, all of you see Big Nasties with Big Nasty Weapons threatening nearby, but staying safely away from them, while you are engaged in mortal combat with foes in your face, is another matter!  The Fog of War is as messy, as that room was after the fight ended.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
