[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 473363, member: 1465"] Aaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhh! I'm getting mad on this thread! :) ...and I thought I KNEW how to handle unarmed attacks... Sorry to bother you, but I am really getting lost now. Can you please tell me at least if there is anything all of you think it's wrong in the way I play it: I am unarmed, therefore: if I attack a foe -> I provoke an AoO (if he has a melee weapon other than "unarmed strike") [I]i.e. "striking unarmed is an attack action that provokes AoO"[/I] if someone does an AoO-provoking action while close to me -> he does not provoke an AoO from me because I don't have a melee weapon other than "unarmed strike" [I]i.e. "you can't make AoO with unarmed strikes"[/I] About threatening area: is there any other thing (apart AoOs) that is influenced by having a threatened area or not? If not, why bother if threatened area when unarmed is 5ft or 0ft or none? [I]Then Monks: with Improved Unarmed Strike, they CAN make unarmed AoO if someone provokes any AND they DON'T provoke AoO when striking unarmed.[/I] Why did it used to seem so simple to me long ago? :) [/QUOTE]
