You and me both. I have yet to try 2e, though.
"An enemy that takes certain actions while in a threatened square provokes an attack of opportunity from you."
Forced movement generally doesn't provoke an attack of opportunity (unless stated otherwise), I think because it isn't an action. The grick lets go, which certainly doesn't provoke, then gravity moves him. He takes no action, not even a free action, to move down to the ground.
I wish that were a little clearer in the rules but I think that is correct.
My munchkin senses are tingling.

Whoops, posted as Bob above.
So you are considering gravity to be a forced action. But the act of releasing is the cause behind the cause of gravity, which isn't intentional. :)
I'm just considering it for my own games. I would probably rule that falling provokes if done on purpose. (of course the target needs to know that someone is falling next to them)
You can rule thus. I think some other people would too.
The reason my ruling is thus is because the gravity is forced movement. The releasing is a free action that doesn't provoke and wasn't even done in a threatened square.
It'd be a bit different if someone jumped forward into a pit, for example, because they're using some of their movement through a threatened square.
I'm gonna (hopefully) get to meet my firstborn tomorrow (or the day after if things take particularly long)...
So I'll be gone for a couple of days I guess, until things are semi-normal again.

Please bot me when necessary.
Things will never be semi-normal again. They'll be better than normal!
Wow! Congrats, Amari! No rush. Do what you need to do!
No worries. Thanks for the heads up, Z.
This is the climactic battle so I'm willing to wait for Zaza to be ready to resume posting. Or I'll bot an action she requests if she gets a chance to check.
Ok I was reaching that conclusion, Zaza. Thanks for piping up. Will do as soon as I get a chance.
I'll get ya on my way forward next round.
If someone has remove poison, delay poison, self-perfection variant channel, etc, they can wake Jackdaw up.
We can say there's a 50% chance Agaban prepped delay poison in one of his 2nd level slots, as well. Jackdaw can try for that 51+ roll here in discussion if he likes.
Still here. I just don't want to bot a large section of the party in the final battle of the campaign.
Hm?
I think it's still Zaza, who has major life stuff, that we're waiting on. I'll just have to bot her again later today and will start botting her faster.
Here but can't guarantee post frequency.
My newborn is still having trouble with his stomach and is keeping us busy a lot.
Ah sorry to hear that.
Ok Z. Thanks for the clarification. I'll bot you along.
Interesting dilemma.
One rule question though:
Coup does provoke and the drow should be within threat range of Amari.
You can substitute any combat maneuver for an attack, so afaik I could attempt to grapple the drow if he attempts to pull it through?
Would a grapple prevent the coup?
Not saying this is a go to option, but maybe it could be a safety net, should everything else fail...
The drow 5 ft stepped out of Amari's reach so no, he doesn't provoke from you. You can try to rush toward him but you're pretty sure that would trigger his readied action.
Just letting you know that I wasn't feeling well today (headache and drowsiness) but I think it was only due to lack of sleep and a bad choice of food - feeling better now.
Still struggling to be creative though...
So, sorry if I keep you waiting.
Sorry, Amari. I guess I'm destined to kill your PCs. But this was a noble death and a sacrifice Amari chose. I'll update more later. We'll see if you are avenged.
As always, should you or any of your Shadows be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
