Attacks of Opportunity vs Concealment


Rules Questions

Over the past week Pipedreamsam (a player in one of my games) was working on leveling up and decided to take levels in Tetori Monk. While working on his character he noticed something odd.

Counter-Grapple wrote:

At 4th level, a tetori wrestler may make an attack of opportunity against a creature attempting to grapple him. This ability does not allow the tetori to make an attack of opportunity against a creature with the Greater Grapple feat. At 6th level, he may use counter-grapple even if his attacker has concealment or total concealment, at 8th level even if he is flat-footed, and at 10th level even if his attacker has exceptional reach.

This ability replaces slow fall.

The ability seems to say that you cannot make attacks of opportunity against creatures with concealment, but no matter where we looked neither of us could find a reference to this in the rules. Does concealment really prevent attacks of opportunity?


Afaik conealment does not prevent attacks of opportunity.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Just Concealment (20% miss chance) doesn't prevent AoO.

Total Concealment (50% miss chance) prevents AoO.

Not everything that gives miss chance is from Concealment. Mirror Image, Displacement and Blink also provide miss chance, but none of these prevent AoO either.
