Guy B and C fighting Guy A
So i was wondering if guy A, who just got disarmed by guy B, would be threating to guy C who is trying to cast a spell and right next to Guy A?
That being said Guy A dosent have improved unarmed strike feat.
I cant seem to find a good ruling.
You threaten all squares into which you can make a melee attack, even when it is not your turn. Generally, that means everything in all squares adjacent to your space (including diagonally). An enemy that takes certain actions while in a threatened square provokes an attack of opportunity from you. If you're unarmed, you don't normally threaten any squares and thus can't make attacks of opportunity.
When making a melee attack, you get a +2 flanking bonus if your opponent is threatened by another enemy character or creature on its opposite border or opposite corner.
Doesn't threaten so doesn't help with flanking, and can't take AoOs.
QUOTE: Stuff about not threatening.
All the above being said, there's absolutely nothing stopping Guy A from readying an action to grapple/unarmed strike the caster if he starts casting. Or just grappling him. Especially if he's a fighter vs. a wizard type.
Ahh thanks for clearing that up for me.
+1 to what Abraham said.
Don't forget that a shield is a weapon.

Though it is a martial weapon. It's entirely possible to be wearing a shield but not be proficient in its use as a weapon. Oddly enough though, it doesn't seem that there's a rule that prevents threatening squares with a weapon you're not proficient with. That means technically you can pick up a rock or stick as an improvised weapon, and still threaten. Or am I missing something?
