Concealment and Reach

[phillipjp]

If a large creature with reach is in a Fog Cloud (100% concealment 10ft away, 50% concealment 5ft away), do they still get attacks of opportunity against opponents that move from the 10ft square to the 5ft square?

No. It's only a 5-foot step.

Sorry, I meant someone moving a normal move through the fog, not a 5-foot step. Does the 100% concealment in the 10ft square prevent the monster with reach from making an AOO when they take that last step into the 5ft square.

Ah-ha. I see. Well...that's an entirely different question. Right now I'm totally stuck in a thread regarding magic item creation and DM approval. Sorry.

No, concealment does not prevent AoO's. Half or more cover does, but not concealment.
You still have the 50% miss chance, of course.

Huh? Are you reading all of the posts or what? Look at his first response to my post.

WRT Concealment...

If the monster is not aware the enemy is there, he can't attack them. So, with 100% concealment you get a 50% miss chance. If the monster knows a PC is moving through one of it's threatened squares, it could take a swing at it. Maybe an opposed move silently/listen roll? Even if the baddie hears the PC, it is still 50/50 on whether or not it will hit.
