[QUOTE="Tharkon, post: 6036857, member: 6674292"] In this case the bottom creature is a zombie that has been deprived of his favorite meal for centuries only to be sustained by the necromantic energy that makes it undead. It is so hungry it can basically smell the living creatures walking around above the trap and is eagerly waiting for one of them to fall down. Think I'll be ruling it this way: Falling creature can make an acrobatics/tumble check as usual to avoid falling prone. If it succeeds then it knocks the zombie prone instead. Regardless the zombie takes one attack when this happens and I don't really care if this is an attack of opportunity or a readied action. If the zombie was knocked prone then it gets a -4 penalty on it's attack, if the falling creature fell prone instead then the falling creature get's -4 on it's AC. If the falling creature fell prone and attempts to stand up it provokes an AoO as usual, but if it succeeds then they will both be squeezing. Thank you all for your input. [/QUOTE]
