I'm back from my trip and once again have internet access. I'll post as soon as I've had a chance to catch up on the IC thread (likely to be mid-morning tomorrow [monday])

And even if it did, considering that it's listed as Combat Reflexes, I've always read it as "A hydra can make a number of Attack of Opportunities equal to the number of its heads".
But now I see that a literal reading of the description comes down to meaning "a hydra can make an Attack of Opportunity twice each round, both times making a number of attacks equal to the number of its heads", this of course presuming that it doesn't gain an enhanced Dexterity from one source or another to gain even more AoO chances. Wow...

Your first quote is the 3.0 MM description of the Hydra. Hydra changed dramatically in 3.5.
Another way to look at this, is that a Hydra has one attack, like a dog. And its one attack can be used in a regular attack, a full attack, or an AOO. Its one attack is special in that it rolls multiple attack dice and can do lots of damage.

Thanee said:Even though gnomes are cute and all, but drawing a weapon does not provoke an attack of opportunity (or six), in case that was the reason for the attacks, as I'm assuming.
Are you suggesting the GM misread the PHB when he read the AOO table? When I read it from my PHB yesterday, I could have sworn I saw AOO: yes. My PHB is out of state from me right now, and the SRD does seem to indicate AOO: no.
Ok, no Gnome for now.
