[QUOTE="Felnar, post: 2756718, member: 30971"] how about this for an idea: when someone 5' steps back, the battle can 5' step with them (ie. everyone can choose to 5' step with them) the initial 5' stepper does not provoke AoOs for leaving a threatened square, however everyone else who chooses to move with the battle does provoke AoOs. All movement is simultaneous, and only those who chose to not move can make AoOs. After all steps/AoOs, the initial stepper finishes their turn. example 1: Fighters X and Y, and Wizard Z are walking in a line. Orc O surprises, charges from the side, and attacks Z. [CODE]surprise round ..X.. ..ZO. ..Y.. 1st round ..X.. .ZO.. ..Y..[/CODE]Z goes first, 5'steps back. X, Y, and O all get to chose to either follow the movement or stay where they are and possibly get AoO's. Being smart, X and Y stand their ground hoping O wont follow Z. O know he needs to take out Z, so he follows, provoking AoOs from X and Y. If he survives the AoOs, he threatens Z if Z attempts to cast a spell. Of course now O is flanked example 2: reach weapons vs non-reach instead of one AoO, then trading 5' steps/fullattacks, now the reach weapon user cant just 5'step back and attack (the non-reach user will step with them, staying out of threatened squares), now they would need to ditch their reach-weapon or use the withdraw action. well, thats a good start i guess, what say all you?
