AoO Pushing Assault and movement through threatened squares


Rules Questions


I couldn't find a direct answer to this in the forums: If an enemy is pushed out of a character's threatened area by pushing assault and they have movement remaining, would they provoke another AoO by moving back through that character's threatened area?

I believe the answer is no, since it still part of the same move action, but I'd like to confirm.

Thanks!


Same movement, same window of opportunity.

To clarify, the enemy provokes from the character for each threatened square they leave, but the character may only take one attack of opportunity for that movement. It's no different than when an enemy moves through multiple squares threatened by the character in the same movement.

(Note the distinction. The enemy provokes multiple times but only one attack of opportunity is allowed. This is relevant because there may be some reason that the threatening character would prefer to use their attack of opportunity during a later provocation--say, to take advantage of the terrain, flanking, and so on.)


Thanks, blahpers! Good to know I had the right of it (even if I worded it poorly).
