There is a 20-foot space between the Ogre and the fighter and a 5-foot space between the fighter and the mage. The ogre wants to overrun the fighter to be adjacent to the mage*. He moves up to the fighter and uses a standard action to overrun. An attack of opportunity is drawn when the ogre moves into the fighter's square (a miss). The fighter chooses to block the ogre and loses the opposed test (ogre STR, fighter STR), which knocks the fighter prone. The ogre advances over the prone fighter to be adjacent to the mage.Now here's where it gets tricky <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />. The ogre can't end his movement adjacent to the mage as the prone fighter would occupy one of the squares of the ogres face. Since the ogre isn't 3 sizes larger than the fighter and the fighter isn't helpless, they cannot share the same space. So the closest the ogre can get to the mage is the square in front of the fighter.Is this correct? (Good thing I'm a DM or I'd be accused of rules-lawyering <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />)* He's one of them smart ogres and wants to get an AoO if the mage attempts to cast.</blockquote>
