[QUOTE="DMFTodd, post: 73574, member: 1202"] Am I sure? No. Just my opinion. I could be wrong. I read that sentence to mean "Acting in this way"as opposed to taking it literally as the physical action of "moving" which the mobility feat applies to. Consider this follow-up logic: AoOs occur *before* the action that triggers them. The AoO from the Bullrush can accidentally hit the target of the Bullrush. Therefore, the action triggering the AoO must be the bullrush itself, not the movement associated with the bullrush. If the AoO was triggered by the literal movement of bullrushing, then the AoO would occur *before* the attacker moves into the hex and thus it wouldn't have a chance to hit the defender. Since it *can* hit the defender, the trigger for the AoO is the action of bullrush (lowering your shoulder), not the literal movement into the hex that causes it. Since it is not a literal movement causing the bullrush, the mobility feat should not apply. Very Clintonesque rules lawyering don't cha think? Of course, if you moved more than 5' in the Bullrush, the AoO would come due to your movement and mobility would apply. A wise target would wait for the Ao O of bullrushing so that the mobility would not apply. [/QUOTE]
