Also, the AoO says it is a single melee attack, would i be able to use my stunning fist ability, or smite with that attack if i were a cleric/paladin, and if i was a savy fighter with improved disarm or trip could i do one of those attack? they all state that they are a single attack. which is what the AoO is. Any imput would help with our house rule if their is no ruleing on this thanks.

Inigo Carmine 06-09-05, 12:50 AM	Yes on all accounts. Sneak attack damage applies whenever the target is denied their dex bonus to AC or flanked (barring a circumstance which denies it, like it is immune to criticals, etc). And yes, an AoO can take the form of a normal melee attack (for damage), a disarm, a trip, or a grapple. For more clarity on this particular rule, peruse the chart on pg 141 in your 3.5 PHB. Pay close attention to the lower right part, and subscript 7.

Provoking an attack of oppertunity. BAM Shake things up with a trip attack, or better an improved trip. Want to add some more color to your attack? A sneak attack is sure to add some red in thier lives. Want to completely stun them with your combat prowess? Stunning attack is sure to wow them, and a Smite (evil,good,chaos,law,extreem alignment,infadel,threat to the crown) is sure to blow them away.
