[QUOTE="hong, post: 564499, member: 537"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Quicker than the Eye and AoO[/b] An AoO is an attack. Targeting an AoO follows all the regular rules for targeting an attack. Hello in there! You. Don't. Need. To. Know. They. Dropped. Their. Guard. No, you started it. ... WABBIT SEASON! I suppose the rules are supposed to represent Picasso's _Guernica_ then, or something? I never knew the PHB was an example of expressionist abstract art. All is clear now! Wimp. You can do that, _and_ still threaten all squares around you. There's nothing to say that when you ready, you aren't also making careful, probing attacks into the immediate vicinity. Irrelevant. Irrelevant. Your _character_ doesn't know it was an AoO. It's indistinguishable from any other swings they make for the rest of the round. _You_ may know it's an AoO, but that's something different. Please not to confuse player knowledge with character knowledge. Your question is based on faulty reasoning. If you chose to do it, yes. Tell me again where someone must automatically take every AoO they are presented with. If you were stupid, yes. Tell me again where someone must automatically take every AoO they are presented with. You got distracted by swinging wildly at the invisible guy. You were stupid. Try again next round, if you survive. [snip bizarro example] Where exactly does it say combatants must be aware of the lapse in defense to take advantage of it? [/QUOTE]
