First post, so I apologize in advance if this has been posted (could not find it) or seems general.
here goes: Does an untrained, unarmed attack, against a monk provoke an attack of opportunity?
Thanks!
Yes, Improved Unarmed Strike makes you armed. Unarmed strikes against an armed opponent provoke AoO.

dthunder, Thanks! I thought so, but better ask than to assume. I had an issue with a fellow player claiming two things:
1. figthers inherently know how to "fight", thus their unarmed attacks against a monk will not provoke AoO
2. melee between monks and unarmed enemies are resolved on equal terms (no AoO)
this clears up a whole lot!
No problem, brother. Tell your fighter that as long as he's wearing gauntlets, he still counts as armed. Go get 'em, tiger!
