does a failed defensive casting still provoke the AoO?


Rules Questions


I know you loose the spell but does it do you also provoke? I've always thought that if you fail not to provoke ... you still provoke but I am reconsidering my thought process.

If you fail to cast defensively you do not provoke; you LOSE the spell but you do not provoke. There is a fighter feat called Spellbreaker in the core rulebook that allows them to attack those that do fail to cast defensively.

Quote:

Spellbreaker (Combat)

You can strike at enemy spellcasters who fail to cast defensively when you threaten them.

Prerequisites: Disruptive, 10th-level fighter.

Benefit: Enemies in your threatened area that fail their checks to cast spells defensively provoke attacks of opportunity from you.

Normal: Enemies that fail to cast spells defensively do not provoke attacks of opportunity.
