[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 292526, member: 111"] The answer is easier than you think (mostly): Normally, you suffer an AoO for leaving a threatened square. In this case, the threatened square was the one (I assume) right in front of the bad guy - the same one protected by the shield spell. Mind you, the bad gut can [b][i]choose[/i][/b][i][/i] which square - for an AoO is provoked for [b][i]each[/i][/b][i][/i] threatened square the sorcerer leaves. So the bad guy could choose to: 1. Take the first possible AoO (shielded) 2. Ignore the first one, and take the one for leaving his own square - the attack occurs in his own square, so you'd have to decide if shield orientation makes any difference. It does not really matter, as the bad gut could instead choose: 3. Take the AoO for moving out of the first threatened square on the opposite of him (assuming the sorcerer moves that far. In this case, the shield spell's orientation is wrong and the sorcerer get no benefit from it. [/QUOTE]
