Acrobatics and Special Maneuvers


General Discussion (Prerelease)

Liberty's Edge

Several special maneuvers require you to enter an opponent's square, an action that provokes an attack of opportunity.

Acrobatics allows you to move through an opponent's square without provoking an attack of opportunity.

Could acrobatics be used to just enter the square to perform the special maneuver?

Now why someone would do this rather than just take the Improved [Special Maneuver] feat is another issue. It just occurred to me that moving through naturally requires moving into to begin with, so why not be able to just move in and use the particular maneuver?


Did I miss something, or is the moving into the enemy's square back in?

As far as I know, they threw that out in PF.

Plus, it's not moving into the square that provokes the AoO, it's trying to do something like trying to grab someone or his weapon.

Gah!

I guess I was looking in the PHB instead of the PFRPG.
Never mind. :-P
