Everything used to provoke an Attack of Opportunity.Try to trip a foe? Attack of Opportunity.Try to grapple a foe? Attack of Opportunity.Try to stand up? Attack of Opportunity.Try to disarm a foe? Attack of Opportunity.Make a ranged attack? Attack of Opportunity.Cast a spell? Attack of Opportunity.Sneeze? Attack of Opportunity.Look sideways? Attack of Opportunity.Think bad thoughts? Attack of Opportunity.I remember building a fighter, using up 2 feats and pumping up Int in order to do something like just trip someone without provoking an attack and not losing an attack, a trick that the battlemaster can just do. There are a few things from 3e that I miss, but they way fighters worked (or more generally how characters were built) is something I don't look back on fondly.</blockquote>
