Message: <blockquote data-quote="udalrich" data-source="post: 4707811" data-attributes="member: 53796">The rules to me always felt like they were written assuming one combatant was Small or larger.  It certainly seems reasonable that a Tiny creature attacking a Small creature should have no more or less trouble than a Medium creature attacking a Large creature.  (We'll ignore the oddity that Small creatures can move into range of a Medium creature without provoking an AoO.)  There's even an admission of something similar, when it explains why small creatures get a to-hit bonus that exactly cancels the size AC bonus of a same size creature.If there was ambiguity in the rules, I'd think in terms of a 2.5' grid, and give Tiny creatures a 2.5' reach.  When the Tiny creature moves into the neighboring (2.5') square, it leaves a square threatened by a Small creature, and provokes an AoO, which corresponds to the AoO for entering the other creatures square.  If it's entering melee with another Tiny creature, it enters a threatened square but doesn't leave one, so there's no AoO.  If the creature that the Tiny creature attacked moves on its turn, then it provokes an AoO, regardless of whether its Tiny or Small.It also means that a Tiny creature can remain in melee without provoking an AoO on every turn, which some interpretations require.  That seems wrong, especially since a Medium creature can remain in melee with a Large creature and only provoke the original AoO (assuming the Large creature doesn't retreat far enough to provoke an AoO itself).In all this, I'm assuming nominal reach and face for all different sizes.</blockquote>
