[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2943635, member: 1656"] I can see both readings, and they depend on the reading of 'for each opponent' - whether it's 'for the purpose of each opponent' or 'for the number of each opponent'. To me, 'purpose' seems the likely answer (as everyone else who's posted agrees) - the check 'for each opponent' is to see whether or not you provoke an AoO from that opponent. If you read it as 'number', then you make one check for each opponent, and if you fail, then your normal movement provokes AoOs normally. The main reason I see this as unlikely is because it can involve time travel paradoxes. Let's say my movement takes me past the goblin, and then twenty feet later, the orc. I roll my Tumble check for the goblin and succeed; I subsequently roll my Tumble check for the orc (at +2 DC) and fail. This means that my movement past the goblin provoked an AoO. The goblin uses his flail to Trip me, successfully... which means I was prone, and could not move past the orc, which means I never rolled and failed the second Tumble check, which means my movement past the goblin didn't provoke an AoO, which means I wasn't tripped. If we assume that the Tumble check vs the orc is to see whether I provoke an AoO [i]from the orc[/i], no paradox results. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
