Just a simple question. When a creature burrows, does it invite an attack of opportunity if it only moves? Basically, I'm wondering if burrow should be treated as a movement or an action.
Thanks!

No, that's not correct. If you do nothing but move, the square you started in doesn't count as threatened. That's it. If you move out of another threatened square, you provoke an attack, as normal. This means that if you are adjacent to a creature with reach, you can't get away using normal movement without provoking an attack.tennyson said:Thanks for the replies everyone. I just wanted to clarify one more thing (and I hope the rules support me on this, otherwise our group has been making a HUGE mistake):
If a character only moves, and takes no action (regardless of moving through a threatened area), do they provoke an AoO? Infiniti2000's suggestion of taking a 5' burrow movement prompts me to ask this question.
Thanks!
