can In harm's way work with broken wing gambit?
In harm's way:
Prerequisite: Bodyguard.
Benefit: While using the aid another action to improve an adjacent ally’s AC, you can intercept a successful attack against that ally as an immediate action, taking full damage from that attack and any associated effects (bleed, poison, etc.). A creature cannot benefit from this feat more than once per attack.
Broken Wing Gambit:
Prerequisite: Bluff 5 ranks.
Benefit: Whenever you make a melee attack and hit your opponent, you can use a free action to grant that opponent a +2 bonus on attack and damage rolls against you until the end of your next turn or until your opponent attacks you, whichever happens first. If that opponent attacks you with this bonus, it provokes attacks of opportunity from your allies who have this feat.
My issue is the wording, I've already gotten confirmation that the creature has to use the bonus and can't choose not to. What i am worried about is if lets say an animal companion uses broken wing gambit then uses in harm's way to take an attack would it provoke? See with the wording I am not sure because the creature didn't attack the animal companion but it did hit it and would probably still get the +2 damage.
