The rules for grapple say that starting a grapple provokes an AoO. Does this still apply if the attacking creature is invisible (invisibility spell)?

In the incorporeal description it is said "... Even when hit by spells or magic weapons, it takes only half damage from a corporeal source..."

What is/isn't a corporeal source?

Do for ex. fireball, call lightning, cone of cold, lightning bolt and generally spells with an energy descriptor, half or full damage?

Is it possible to cast banishment/dismissal on a druid when he is wild-shaped into an elemental?

Can you move through squares occupied by an opponent if he allows you?

The rules only says:

Moving Through a Square

Opponent: You can't move through a square occupied by an opponent unless the opponent is helpless. You can move through a square occupied by a helpless opponent without penalty. Some creatures, particularly very large ones, may present an obstacle even when helpless. In such cases, each square you move through counts as 2 squares. ...

But if he voluntarily allows you, why couldn't you be allowed?

The trigger for this question is the following situation:

A player is going from A to B where between A and B there is a large invisible creature with reach 5. The approaching wouldn't let the creature do an AoO, but if he allows the player to pass by, than he would be able to do it, or not?

Does a dimensional step provoke any attack of opportunity?

From the rules:

Dimensional Steps (Sp)

At 8th level, you can use this ability to teleport up to 30 feet per wizard level per day as a standard action. This teleportation must be used in 5-foot increments and such movement does not provoke an attack of opportunity. You can bring other willing creatures with you, but you must expend an equal amount of distance for each additional creature brought with you.

However using a SP does provoke an AoO...

What is the movement that doesn't provoke an AoO referred in the description?

Hello,
In the SORD - System Operational Reference Digest (http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2kxj5?SORD-PF-10-Released) under Combat maneuvres I can read for ex.

Bull Rush standard action one size category larger or less or part of a charge
1 - Resolve AoO - Resolve AoO from the target. The Improved Bull Rush feat (or similar ability) avoids drawing AoO.
2 - Roll - Subtract any target’s AoO damage on the roll.
3 - Effect - Success: Push the target back 5 feet plus 5 more feet for each 5 by which the roll exceeds the CMD. You can move with the target if you have movement left. Fail: Your move ends in front of the target. ØØ You cannot bull rush a target into a solid square or obstacle.

Now, my question is:

if you take an action that causes an AoO, do you have to subtract the eventually taken damage from the subsequent roll for that action(see point 2.)?

If yes, does this apply too to the case where I move away from a threatened square, causing an AoO, to attack a creature? Do I have to subtract the damage from the AoO from my next attack roll?

I searched the Core Manual, but didn't find anything about that...

When an air elemental goes whirlwind and trap someone inside it, how do ranged attacks to the trapped creature work?
Can the creature be targetted with ranged attacks/rays?
Does it have total concealment (the air elemental is all around it...).

Than you
Franc

How does it work when someone is blinded and makes ranged attacks? Is it possible? Is it somewhere described?

Thanx

A druid which is wild-shaped (elemental body) into an earth elemental has the ability "earth glide". I have a couple of questions regarding this:

- If he's inside of a wall, can he see/hear what's happening in an adjacent room?
- Can he cast (while he's inside of the wall) into an adjacent room?
- Can he emerge(what exactly that means?), cast a spell and then go back inside the wall?

Thank you

What would be a realistic number of arrows an archer can have/carry/bring with him? Dozens or hundreds?

Thank you

in the spell description is said that "the surface of the sphere has a spongy, yielding consistency".

So the sphere has some "consistency". Can she be moved/kicked away?

Thank you
Franc

It is possible to do a deadly aim attack if you don't have line of sight with the target (let's say he's under a curtain)?

And more generelly if he has cover?

Thank you
