The question is in the title. How do these feats interact? Does Paired Opportunists proc at all? If it does, does it proc with the same effect as Pin Down or would it simply resolve as a standard AoO?
Pin Down: Whenever an opponent you threaten takes a 5-foot step or uses the withdraw action, that opponent provokes an attack of opportunity from you. If the attack hits, you deal no damage, but the targeted creature is prevented from making the move action that granted a 5-foot step or the withdraw action and does not move.
Paired Opportunists: Whenever you are adjacent to an ally who also has this feat, you receive a +4 circumstance bonus on attacks of opportunity against creatures that you both threaten. Enemies that provoke attacks of opportunity from your ally also provoke attacks of opportunity from you so long as you threaten them (even if the situation or an ability would normally deny you the attack of opportunity). This does not allow you to take more than one attack of opportunity against a creature for a given action.
TIA!
Proc?
Don't seem to apply.Proc
Short for "Spec Proc" which is short for Special Procedure...Used in RPG's to describe a special ability that an item/weapon/armor has.
Woot, my weapon proced for an extra 98 damage.I just got this armor with a sweet proc on it.
I really wasn't worried semantics, especially when it comes to slang. In my circle proc basically means 'effect triggered when conditions are met'.
If it helps, think of me as the weapon, and Paired Opportunists as my 'special ability'.

The point was "Remember, this forum is frequented by people from all the world, not only your circle of friends".
There is a slang that is common in this forum (things like AoO), but when you bring new terms it is a good idea to explain them.
To reply to you question:
- Paired opportunist will generate an Attack of Opportunity for the character without Pin Down;
- it will be a normal Attack of Opportunity. You need the appropriate feat to Pin down an opponent.
If both you and your ally have Paired Opportunist and your ally has Pin Down... If an enemy you both threaten tries to withdraw or take a 5' step, you would get a normal AoO from Paired Opportunist and your ally would get the Pin Down AoO.
Proc is an old term from MMOS. Like.. everquest old.
It means activate once condition is met, like rolling a nat 20.
Stood for "Programmed Random OCcurrence"
Thanks, that's basically what I've always understood it to be. Me, my circle of friends and maybe 99% of the rest of the gaming world... being 'new' to one person doesn't mean its necessarily new. Quite the opposite in this case.
Thanks for the responses, guys, I appreciate it. Pretty much confirmed what I thought, but i wasn't sure if the wording was standard or exceptional.
