Message: <blockquote data-quote="Thanee" data-source="post: 1960508" data-attributes="member: 478">Full Attack is a troublesome piece.  It says right there, that a Full Attack action does not provoke an AoO, and then goes on to say, that a disarm or grapple attack does, which can be made as part of a full attack.  Of course, ranged attack should have the action type varies. It's an "attack action" much like disarm or grapple, something that can be done with an attack. When making a ranged touch attack as part of a spell you do something different, tho. You do not attack (except in the sense as meant when breaking invisibility, of course), you cast a spell.  Full Attack would work well, if they had mentioned, that each attack of a full attack should be considered a seperate action when it comes to attacks of opportunity. Also an attack of opportunity should be seen the same as a standard attack action concerning whether it provokes AoO itself or not.  Still, I see a big difference between that and the attack roll part of a spell with a ranged touch attack.  Both the Touch spell and the Full Attack action have special rules, that make clear, that there are seperate entities bundled together (in case of the Touch spell it has been said often enough now, with the Full Attack, I am talking about the 5-ft. step, which you can take between any two attacks).  OTOH, there is no such mentioning for a ranged touch attack as part of a spell effect. It's just one entity, thus only one AoO.  Hope that it is at least halfway clear what I mean... <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" />  Bye Thanee</blockquote>
