AoO and subsequent dice roll


Rules Questions


Hello,
In the SORD - System Operational Reference Digest (http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2kxj5?SORD-PF-10-Released) under Combat maneuvres I can read for ex.

Bull Rush standard action one size category larger or less or part of a charge
1 - Resolve AoO - Resolve AoO from the target. The Improved Bull Rush feat (or similar ability) avoids drawing AoO.
2 - Roll - Subtract any target’s AoO damage on the roll.
3 - Effect - Success: Push the target back 5 feet plus 5 more feet for each 5 by which the roll exceeds the CMD. You can move with the target if you have movement left. Fail: Your move ends in front of the target. ØØ You cannot bull rush a target into a solid square or obstacle.

Now, my question is:

if you take an action that causes an AoO, do you have to subtract the eventually taken damage from the subsequent roll for that action(see point 2.)?

If yes, does this apply too to the case where I move away from a threatened square, causing an AoO, to attack a creature? Do I have to subtract the damage from the AoO from my next attack roll?

I searched the Core Manual, but didn't find anything about that...

No. This is a rule that's specific to combat maneuvers. Please see the PRD here.

When performing a combat maneuver, you must use an action appropriate to the maneuver you are attempting to perform. While many combat maneuvers can be performed as part of an attack action, full-attack action, or attack of opportunity (in place of a melee attack), others require a specific action. Unless otherwise noted, performing a combat maneuver provokes an attack of opportunity from the target of the maneuver. If you are hit by the target, you take the damage normally and apply that amount as a penalty to the attack roll to perform the maneuver.

Ok. Thank you!
