At least from the SRD (PHB may clear it out), it is possible to draw some conclusion that seems akward to us.The SRD talks about "actions" which provoke an AoO, and a full attack is "one" full-round action -> one could say that shooting a ranged weapon more than once in a FRA provokes one AoO only.Then another one may look up at the table (we know that tables aren't always to be trusted...) and notice that "full attack" says AoO=NO, and therefore think that if you shoot the ranged weapon with a full attack, you don't provoke any AoO.This sounds to me just a problem of the table, with "full attack" referring to the general case, but then you should check if each specific attack of the series provokes an AoO (for example, if you try to disarm as one of the full attack's attacks).I know, that (almost) everyone plays like that: each attack in a full attack may provoke a separate AoO. But I also see how it could be understood otherwise, if it's not clear whether the full-attack is a single "action" and if it's "one action" = one AoO, or rather if "one attack" = one AoO.Not that in practice it has a great impact, I don't remember if it ever happened to us, that someone wanted to provoke an AoO twice in the same round AND had an opponent with Combat Reflexes who was able to do both. If it had happened, I'm sure we would have had in mind to make as many AoOs as provoking attacks...</blockquote>
