[QUOTE="beepeearr, post: 2701589, member: 20548"] Not every situation is covered in the PHB table, they even say so in the description of AoO, it is not an all inclusive list so don't treat it as one. There will be instances where an action is not listed on it, so use the spirit of the rule, and the spirit of the rule is performing a distracting action while threatened provokes an attack of opportunity. I agree that delivering the touch spell does not provoke, however ignoring your opponent to deliver the touch spell on an ally he is standing over should. I would treat this and similar activities as entering your opponents square, but without leaving your own (important distinction as both of these actions would provoke separate attacks of opportunity, that a character with Combat Reflexes could whack you twice for). The whole cat and ogre example doesn't work, and if the cat wasn't an ally he would have proved an attack of opportunity from the ogre. [/QUOTE]
