[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1415640, member: 1656"] We had one the other day where the monster went to Bull Rush one of a pair of PCs. "Do I get an AoO?" the target asked. "No - Improved Bull Rush," the DM replied gleefully. "His feats suit the tactics I've come up with." Something was nagging at me, so I flicked to Improved Bull Rush. "He doesn't get an AoO... but [i]he[/i] still does," I pointed out. "IBR only prevents the AoO from the [i]defender[/i], not anyone else who threatens." So the monster Bull Rushed one PC off the cliff, and the other PC killed it with the AoO. While some other stuff was happening, I read through the Special Attacks section again, and realised we'd forgotten something important. "Oops," I murmured to the player who'd taken the AoO. "Roll that d8, would you? A 1 or a 2 is bad." He rolled a 3, then asked why. "We forgot the 25% chance that you'd hit the wrong guy in the Bull Rush with your AoO. But it's okay. You didn't." We later pointed out the oversight to the DM. If he'd rolled a 1 or 2, we'd have felt obliged to tell him on the spot, in case he wanted to roll back time a round or two... -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
