[QUOTE="Dross, post: 2741144, member: 33802"] True, but what i was getting at (since i didn't clearly state it) is that you [B]need[/B] to threaten to have an AoO when being overrun, you do not automatically get it going by what you said. Or another way, no weapon in hand/no unarmed strike feat/etc, no AoO when you are "overran" (or whatever the word is). My problem is that the Overrun action and the provoked AoO is stated differently to the Bull Rush action and the AoO provoked, but in both cases you move into an opponent's square. SRD 3.5 Initiating a Bull Rush: First, you move into the defender’s space. Doing this provokes an attack of opportunity from each [B]opponent that threatens you[/B], including the defender. (Improved bull rush negates AoO from defender) Overrun Step 1: Attack of Opportunity. Since you begin the overrun by moving into the defender’s space, you provoke an attack of opportunity from the defender. Note the bit that is bolded specifically talks about threatening squares. That to me indicates that it's not the movement that provokes the AoO on Overrun but hte action itself. [/QUOTE]
