Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kaisoku" data-source="post: 4222165" data-attributes="member: 58447">The point wasn't to make an unbeatable force. The point is simply to give him options against creatures that are strong against tripping. It only works on AoO, it only stops them, no prone, no bonus to hit for being prone, no additional attack for damage, no damage done at all. I've personally opted to NOT use Stand Still to do the extra damage instead.Also, as per the rules:"An attack of opportunity “interrupts” the normal flow of actions in the round. If an attack of opportunity is provoked, immediately resolve the attack of opportunity, then continue with the next character’s turn (or complete the current turn, if the attack of opportunity was provoked in the midst of a character’s turn)."I can't remember where I read it as well, probably a FAQ entry, but the words "An AoO occurs before the event that provoked it" seem very familiar.This is why when a person standing up from prone provokes an AoO, you can't trip them again, since your AoO is happening while they are still prone (before the action that provoked it is completed). You can only do other things, like disarm or damage them.What saves a person from being tripped forever, also stops a person from moving out of the square with Stand Still. It can't be both ways.It's not like this is unbeatable, and the primary reason for using this is so that a Fighter can keep things near him to beat on him... they will have to find a different way to get away from him. Such as doing something that doesn't provoke an AoO. Tumble, 5' step, withdraw, all wouldn't provoke.There's a host of conditions that would prevent the Fighter from making AoOs, including running out. Being large and huge for the reach reduces the Dex of the character.But I should stop here... don't want to give my DM more ideas to mess up my character.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
