When you move through a square occupied by a friendly character, that character doesn’t provide you with cover.Opponent: You can’t move through a square occupied by an opponent, unless the opponent is helpless. You can move through a square occupied by a helpless opponent without penalty. (Some creatures, particularly very large ones, may present an obstacle even when helpless. In such cases, each square you move through counts as 2 squares.)Ending Your Movement: You can’t end your movement in the same square as another creature unless it is helpless.Overrun: During your movement or as part of a charge, you can attempt to move through a square occupied by an opponent.Tumbling: A trained character can attempt to tumble through a square occupied by an opponent (see the Tumble skill).Very Small Creature: A Fine, Diminutive, or Tiny creature can move into or through an occupied square. The creature provokes attacks of opportunity when doing so.Square Occupied by Creature Three Sizes Larger or Smaller: Any creature can move through a square occupied by a creature three size categories larger than it is.A big creature can move through a square occupied by a creature three size categories smaller than it is.Designated Exceptions: Some creatures break the above rules. A creature that completely fills the squares it occupies cannot be moved past, even with the Tumble skill or similar special abilities.</blockquote>
