New Game of Death: Battle Royale of the GAWDS

[Number47]

The easy answer to that is, Zalilad passed through three threatened squares to attack me.

Zalilad stood up (no AoO) then did a partial charge. Why would you get an AoO?

Diagram above shows Zalilad starting in a threatened square, then moving through three threatened squares. Even if he hadn't attacked, I would've gotten an AoO from the movement alone. Unless he used an ability or feat to be immune from AoO, of course, but it should be mentioned.

I always thought you don't take AoO from charging.

you don't get AoOs with ranged weapons without some VEEEERY special class choices. what the hell ARE you? even Lashers only get to do AoOs at a 5' range.

He has reach. But the SRD specifically says that you don't take AoO from partial charges, which Zalilad did. I am honestly not an expert on AoO so if anyone can point me to a faq/errata/whatever saying that Dabbil would get the AoO, I will reroll it. I don't care either way, I just want to run it correctly.

I hate to give away things about my character, but I am not using a ranged weapon. It is a melee weapon.

ahh, reach, a TRUE love/hate relationship.

i can't wait to figure out what the heck it is. sounds a great deal better than my choice of Glaive.

I belive CWJ is correct so far on this one, without knowing abilities of the character in ?.

As far as I know, unless you have a feat or PrC ability that allows AoO against charging opponents your out of luck.

The only two things that do this that i know of are Hold the line, and Large and In Charge.

JDragon - who spends to much time working on AoO's with his group.

He's using a spiked chain, I'd say. With some illusion cast upon it to misdirect you guys.
