If the target has a ranged weapon he can take a attack of opportunity on the attacker because he opens himself up to attack. This does not count as the original targets attack for the turn it's just a free attack he gets because you foolishly used a ranged attack on him. Does that attack have to be a basic ranged attack or can it be a power?The same goes for melee if a character moves around a creature or between two creatures he can evoke attacks of opportunity from both of them. or the one. because he is trying to run past their defenses. This only happens if you try to pass his front squares. the side and back do not count.Again the question of basic attacks only? Also does shifting count? I assume not since shifting is kinda a way to avoid the front of something but i wasn't sure.I could be way off of course too.If a rouge is sneaking around a creature that is 8 squares away from other creature who is looking right at him. The 2nd creature has a crossbow. Does the rouge evoke a attack of opportunity? He is moving withing range of a ranged attack in plain sight. Right?If there is a good article or something on this or if anyone else can explain it where i can understand it, that would be awesome.-D-</blockquote>
