Uh, so...which way are you ruling on this issue?
The phrase, "Getting up from a chair is a free action that doesn't provoke attacks of opportunity if the chair is fairly high; otherwise it's just like getting up from a prone position" still leaves plenty of room for interpretation. I mean, "if the chair is fairly high"? That's sufficiently vague enough for a reasonable individual to wonder to oneself, "how high does it have to be? When they say 'high,' are they talking about a regular dining chair or a barstool?" The word "otherwise" definitely indicates to me that the emphasis of the statement requires an AoO to be in order when you get up from a chair.
Just curious!
