My question is a simple one that has spawned endless debate in multiple games -
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
Does a Large creature move out of 2 squares or 4 when moving laterally? Or if moving diagonally does a large creature leave three squares or four with each step?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------
This of course pertains to provoking attacks of opportunity in the Pathfinder 1 system, and assumes there is no charge and the movement is not a 5-foot step.
My players are arguing that the leading edge of large or bigger creatures provoke when moving toward a large PC. I posit that the leading edge of such creatures are simply moving through a threatened area and not leaving the threatened area since the creature is still within the threatened area after the move, which logically means the creature did not leave the threatened area.
Please advise as to a FAQ or rules post that addresses this confusion.
