Simple RAW Thread for 3.5: Score and Nine

[Duke of Urrel]

Q 593

Can you take a five-foot step as part of an attack of opportunity?

For example, can you make an attack of opportunity with a bull rush attack or a grapple attack, taking a five-foot step to move into your opponent's square?


If you can take a five-foot step as part of an attack of opportunity, then this may have some odd consequences, which raises two more questions.


Q 594

Suppose you take a five-foot step while making an attack of opportunity while you are surprised, using the Combat Reflexes feat. Does this make you unable to move at all during your first turn in the regular combat round that follows?


Q 595

Suppose you moved during your last turn in combat. Does this prohibit taking a five-foot step when you make your next attack of opportunity? Or can you take a five-foot step as part of this attack if you accept the consequence of not being able to move at all during your next turn?
