Running and AoO

[d(sqrt(-1))]

But it's not running "out of a square" that provokes the AoO.

It's running.

That action takes place in both the square you are leaving, and the square you are entering.

-Hyp.

Great, we had this debate just the other week, and this was the conclusion that we came to as well.

The only slight thing that seems a bit weird about it is in chase situations, both the chaser and the chasee will get AOOs on each other as they run along, albeit without their DEX bonus.

e.g. A chasing B, as B leaves A's area running, A gets AOO on him. B runs x4, then A follows. As A enters B's threat range, B gets AOO on A for running.

Unless I've missed some other subtlety...

cheers,

All this makes the Run feat that much more attractive eh?
