Spring Attack doubt

[Hypersmurf]

But this means that I have a defender before my attack.

That's right. The person whose AoOs you're negating, that you are therefore obliged to attack.

If you don't attack him, he was able to make an AoO; if you declared his AoO illegal, you have thereby declared that he is 'the defender you attack', and must therefore attack him.

If I can choose, it means that this feat can lead to paradox.

Hence my comment about "logic": under standard rules of logic, you can't choose an option that leads to a paradox.

But you should know that in D&D there are many illogical rules.

Heck, in this game you can run from north to south and then jump from south to north!

Thats' why I asked: I can follow the logical option, but nothing in the RAW states that it's the only avalaible option.

And you don't need to light your torch to burn someone with it, right? Although by "run" do you mean "Run" or do you mean "Hustle"?

He means, "get a running start."
