Attacks of Opportunity

[Prometeus]

On our last session we had a little debate about something I hope you guys can help me with the right answer

One character move from far away to be adjacent to a Colossal size mob that have Combat Reflexes, Improved Whip Mastery with a Scorpion Whip on one hand and a short sword on the second hand.

How many opportunity attacks the mob can make?

Thanks in advance for any advice

You can only take one attack of opportunity for each act that provokes, the amount of weapons you wield has nothing to do with it.
Moving only provokes once, no matter how many threatened squares you pass through.

Like the other person said, once.

Moving out of more than one square threatened by the same opponent in the same round doesn't count as more than one opportunity for that opponent.

So all of the details provided are irrelevant. The mover only provokes once, there's only one attack of opportunity available.

One unless there was some other provoking action.

Ohh ok thanks a lot for the clarification

I'd love to get some more detail why you think this. Leaving a threatened square provokes an attack of opportunity. The character in this example is leaving multiple squares. I don't understand how that's not separate provocations.

Because the rules explicitly say so.

I missed the quoted rule from Bob bob bob.

As a bit of advice for you, in the future pointing out the explicit rule is useful in rules forum discussions.
