- When attacking to grapple, the PC provokes an AoO. Can the "defender" use a grapple as his AoO? (this then devolves into the vicious "last in, first out AoO Resolution" cycle, because his AoO attack provokes an AoO, which then means the "attacker" can launch a grapple-check as *his* AoO and it gets resolved, then up one iteration to the original defender's AoO, and then up to the original attack...)
According to the rules you can only make an AOO if you threathen a square with a meele weapon. Grappling is an unarmed attack and so does not threaten anyone. (That's why there's an AOO in the first place)
