[QUOTE="TheGogmagog, post: 2694774, member: 27702"] I agree with you, It is fuzzy, but I lean towards it drawing an AoO. I disagree that reaching into an occupied square doesn't draw an AoO. There are more cases where doing so does draw an AoO, like grappling, tripping, disarming. I suspect that a touch spell does not draw an AoO because the caster is armed. The touch spell is also typically delivered from a standing caster to a standing defender. Having the target on the ground of an occupied square changes the situation, even if it's not spelled out in the table. For a different point of view reverse the situation. Your front line fighter goes down while the cleric behind him is still holding the charge of a cure serious. The opponent takes a 5' step forward over the body. On the cleric's turn he wants to deliver the heal spell. Still sounds like an AoO to me. I don't think I would impose the same penalty for simply delivering a touch spell while within threatened squares, like if the cleric was within 5' or the opponent had reach. [/QUOTE]
