Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn’t count as more than one opportunity for that opponent. Hold the Line grants an opportunity when someone charges into an area you threaten.The normal rules for AoOs grant an opportunity when someone leaves a square you threaten - but no matter how many squares they leave, only one opportunity.Notice that Hold the Line is not governed by rule 2... the opportunity is not for "moving out of a square", so it isn't rolled up into the same opportunity as leaving a square.What does make Hold the Line fuzzy is its use of the word 'area' instead of 'square'.  In 3E, we had the phrase "out of or within a threatened area".  In 3.5, this was clarified to "out of a threatened square".  So we may have to assume that Hold the Line only works when they enter the region of squares that you threaten, not on a per-square basis.Even so, if you have a longspear, a readied attack, Hold the Line, and Combat Reflexes, and someone with a longsword charges you, you get three attacks: one when they enter your threatened area (Hold the Line AoO), one while they are within your threatened area (readied action), and one when they leave your threatened square to close with you (movement AoO), since the two AoOs are different opportunities.-Hyp.</blockquote>
