So his my proposal:
Let's say I am fighting with a one-handed weapon and nothing in the other hand (basically a duelist/swashbuckler type). Now, let us presume that I want to make an off-hand attack with my emply hand. I do not possess the Improved Unarmed feat or monk levels. I do not have a gauntlet, etc. The associated attack penalties (with or without ambidexterity/2-weapon) are not the issue here.
Would the opponent get an AoO? The quandry lies with the fact that I am still armed. Normally, I would suffer an AoO when I am unarmed. But that is not the case here.
What say you?
I picture the typical cinimatic style of pinning the opponent's weapon out of the way and punching him. Or drawing him off by forcing him to parry and then getting a kick in. Stuff like that.
