AOO, Ooze Split, Combat Reflexes, ?More AOO?


Rules Questions


There was a situation in my game the other day that I am curious about how this would work, and essentially I think it comes down to how is an ooze split treated.

We had an ooze try to "run" past one of our players and it got hit by his AOO triggering the split ability in the middle of the movement. As the now oozeS continue to move forward how are they treated? Are they both new oozes with new amounts of movement and new ability to trigger AOOs from movement, just one is new with above implications, both are "halves of the old" with no more AOOs possible and only remaining movement? How does that work?

I then wonder how it works if you extrapolate it to other effects? If the original was say on fire, or under hold monster, or target of a judgment or smite ability?

I am sure this is asked before or answered somewhere, but my search-fu failed me.

Thank you,

I don't see any rules covering this, so....

I think that the split does not generate additional AoOs unless the two oozes move into another's threatened area. I think the move should complete, and the result of the split happen at the end of the movement. If the GM rules the split as stopping movement, then movement after the split would be from separate 'new' creatures, allowing AoOs.
