I had this recently come up in a game I GM'd. If a person doesn't have the improved form of a combat maneuver such as Improved Grapple. Does, the AoO that it provoke stop the combat maneuver if it hits? I know that it did in 3.5, but pathfinder is a bit different. Specifically somewhere in txt where this would be found.
Greetings, fellow traveller.
An attack of opportunity “interrupts” the normal flow of actions in the round. If an attack of opportunity is provoked, immediately resolve the attack of opportunity, then continue with the next character's turn (or complete the current turn, if the attack of opportunity was provoked in the midst of a character's turn).
Emphasis mine.
The second half of the quoted text (right out of the combat section in the PRD) strongly points towards the (N)PC incurring the AoO continues with her action regardless after suffering the results of the AoO.Ruyan.
