[QUOTE="N0Man, post: 5173174, member: 64066"] There was a thread about this a long time ago as well, and that is my current conclusion. The monster didn't actually leave the square (he still in it), so it doesn't provoke. The rules do say when he [B]leaves[/B] a square, not when he moves through a square adjacent to you. This seems to be clear and fair enough for me. Besides, ruling otherwise could get into the silly possibility of the large creature rotating (using the square adjacent to the player as an axis point, as in turning on that foot) into a square. If a creature rotated, then he the same part of him is still in the square, and he spun the rest of him to be adjacent. Now, the rules don't account for rotating, facing, or parts of large creature moving through a square, so I think it's far simpler and perfectly reasonable to just read the rule literally and ask, "after that move, is he still in that square? If so, he didn't leave it and therefor didn't provoke." That's my opinion at least. [/QUOTE]
