harass creature action

First Post
Some daysa ago there was a discussion about using opposed checks when casting defensively. What I suggest is a compromise between both extremes (Flat DC) v/s opposed check. Create a special action called:

Harass

On your initiative, if you are within reach of a creature you may declare Harrass as a full-round action. If the creature moves, you move in such a manner as to remain within reach of him. This allows yout to attack him whenever he takes an action that provokes an AoO. If the creature attempts to take an action defensively by using the concentration skill, he must succeed against in an opposed check (his concentration v/s your Attack roll). If he looses this opposed check, he provokes an AoO.

What do you think. I don't have the exact wording, but I'm expecting modifications from you guys as well :D

This action is almost the same as declaring a ready action, although you can keep up with most spellcasters and archers. I like that it introduces the opposed check roll.

Umm, I think that your Harass action is better than a ready action or the delay action, plus it nerfs the concentration skill. I have an instinctive distrust of an action that lets you follow your enemies around and whack 'em when they cast.

On the other hand, I do have a feat imc that lets you follow an enemy's 5' step with one of your own as long as you haven't already moved this round.

Maybe ‘Harass’ would make a good 2nd tier feat?
 

Actually I don't use this. I was just posting it as an idea for those who feeel concentration should have an opposed check. Maybe a feat, though I don't think I'd make it second tier though. Maybe require enough BAB?
