Krelios said:By the RAW, the giant provokes an AoO that you cannot take if he reaches into an area you threaten without being in an area you threaten.
Actually, if he isn't threatened, he doesn't provoke an AoO at all.
If I am threatened and drink a potion, I provoke an AoO. Anyone who threatens me can hit me.
If I am not threatened and drink a potion, it's not the case that I provoke an AoO that nobody is in a position to take; I simply do not provoke.
"Two kinds of actions can provoke attacks of opportunity: moving out of a threatened square and performing an action within a threatened square."
If I'm performing an action, but not within a threatened square, it's not one of the kinds of action that can provoke an AoO.
