[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 377592, member: 1118"] When I talked about the trip not causing an AoO, it wasn't due to movement, it was in response to your idea that the bullrush AoO was because you were offbalance and unable to defend yourself. Since while you're falling down you are most definitely off balance (and most likely unable to defend yourself) if we allow the AoO for bull rush for anything other than movement we'd have to allow it for things such as trip and grapple. With regards to the FAQ, it probably depends on when that question was answered, but since the PHB is the source of the Sage's answers I'm not surprised at this ruling (it pretty much says what I was using - AoO if you bullrush someone, none if you throw them). As you said, this is D&D so the FAQ is based on the PHB and since the PHB has that rule explicitly stated then the FAQ would have to support this (there has been no errata). However, in my case, I'm going to house rule it to match the SRD as it's just cleaner. IceBear [/QUOTE]
