One does not get an AoO against Two because Two only moved 5'.If One does not have a reach weapon, Two will get a free AoO every single round as One attempts to close. In open terrain, where combatants can maneuver freely, this is a bit too powerful for my taste. Otherwise, it might be okay. Personally, I think I'd be more comfortable if the feat (instead of giving an AoO) allowed a character to sacrifice his current round's actions to take a first strike when an opponent enters a threatening space. In this case, the first strike replaces the standard action of the character, rather than being in addition to it. If the character has already acted in the round (or is flat-footed), then the feat has no effect.</blockquote>
