Thank you for all the replies guys.
Chell, thank you for the example with Withdraw.

At the end of the day, I think I've presented them with all the arguments and examples I can, so if we are playing with charging not provoking then I will just have to adjust, and maybe not play a character with Reach :)

Your players are conveniently missing the hyphenated 1 on the Attack of opportunity column:

1 Regardless of the action, if you move out of a threatened square, you usually provoke an attack of opportunity. This column indicates whether the action itself, not moving, provokes an attack of opportunity.

The charge doesn't provoke, but the charging creature moving out of the threatened square still provokes.

Thanks for the reply Diego.

Unfortunately they are not missing it, I pointed it out to them, but the group reads charge as a "full round action that includes movement", that movement is part of the action and as it says "no" to AOO they think it doesn't.

Is there any other way I can prove it to them? Or how to get an official response or anything on FAQ's?

Hello all,

Is there any official clarification for the rules on Attacks of Opportunity on a charging opponent?

E.g. guard with longsword charges a PC who has a reach weapon.

My playgroup can't reach a consensus and won't take forum advise unless it's "official Paizo" thus currently playing without AOO if there is a charge.

There's arguments for and against e.g. Shining Knight example or the fact that charging from vines explicitly says that it triggers attacks of opportunity but is otherwise treated as a charge, implying that the charge doesn't.

Same with the table where it says that the charging action does not trigger, the argument is that "charging is a full-round action that includes movement" and the table says that this action does not provoke.

Again, they won't take forum discussions as an argument, looking for any official FAQ or answer?

I am aware of the table that has an annotation that says that movement provokes, but that same table says that charging does not.
