[QUOTE="General Barron, post: 2755787, member: 32468"] That's what I thought, though I don't think my players are so wimpy that they can't think ahead about not casting spells or drinking potions in melee :0. Anyway, this confirms my belief that the rule makes no sense. If a character wants to get away from a fight, they should take a withdraw action. If they don't have any buddies nearby who can cover their withdraw, and the enemy just follows them on their round, then it's the player's fault for being so foolish, and they deserve an AoO ;). This sounds like the perfect fix. I see no reason to require a feat or PrC in order to make the combat rules make sense. I only have a Q about this: Would this mean that on the opponent's NEXT turn, they cannot move any distance? Or do you mean that if they moved any distance on their LAST turn, then they can't take the 5' SoO? [/QUOTE]
