[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 1263923, member: 1457"] Yeah, you'll recieve four AoOs. Two from each guy, for each of the two different provoking actions. Assuming they have Combat Reflexes, that is. Like so: DM: The guy you two are fighting looses his shield and fishes around for something tucked behind his back. PC1: I hit him while he's distracted! PC2: Me too! DM: Take your AoOs. PCs: Whack! DM: Okay, his hand comes around and it's holding... a potion! PC1: Alright. DM: He bites the cork stopper in his teeth, yanks it out, spits it to the ground, then tilts his head back and chugs the potion. PC2: Uh... so he's standing there with no shield, head tilted back, and I'm watching the adam's apple on his exposed neck bob up and down as he swallows potion? DM: Yeah. PC1: I hit him again! PC2: Me too! DM: You guys have Combat Reflexes, so take your AoOs. PCs: Whack! The "loosing shield" thing is also worth mentioning. You need a free hand to retrieve and drink a potion. No problem for archers or greatsword users, but sword and shield or two weapon fighters need to free a hand. Free action to drop (not sheathe) a weapon, or move action to loose a shield or sheathe. Drinking a potion in D&D is much tougher than it is in Diablo. :) -z [/QUOTE]
