Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gaiden" data-source="post: 352793" data-attributes="member: 103">When you attempt to take a melee attack action that specifically provokes an AoO like a disarm attempt, in order for the opponent to make that AoO, is it true that they have to threaten the area of the one provoking the AoO to make the AoO?Moreover, does provoking at AoO in this manner occur just to the opponent whom you are performing the special melee attack against, or is it a general AoO that everyone can make who threatens you?Finally, does the same principle apply to trip attacks.  It says under multiple weapon's descriptions that one can drop the weapon if they would be tripped because of their failed trip attempt.  Many of these weapons have reach and it simply does not make sense to reference this unless an opponent can make a response trip attempt even if they don't threaten the area</blockquote>
