[QUOTE="Artoomis, post: 2739213, member: 111"] First, of course you only get more than one AoO if you have Combat Reflexes, right? That was not mentioned, although maybe just assumed. (edit: Nail metioned it while I was drafting up this reponse) Second, Hold the Line gives you an AoO when someone enters your threatened area, giving you an AoO for a charge when you normally would not get one, right? It sounds to me very much like a movement-caused AoO - basically the same as leaving a threatened square. Note that: does not take into account moving INTO a square because that only provokes an AoO because of a non-core feat, Hold the Line. Caution is required when using a non-core book with strict core rules text. You won't find a definitve answer in the RAW here, you'll have to apply some common sense and decide if Hold the Line really creates a new opportunity or just extends the already existing one (moving "out" of a threatened square) to include a new condition (moving "in" to a threatened square). This sort of common-sense analysis is often required when using non-core feats, spells, abilities etc. [/QUOTE]
