Here's one for you. If a character in melee uses a quickened Teleport to escape, does he still invoke an AOO from his opponent, as a regular casting would?

Answers on a postcard please :)

Quickened spellcasting doesn't provoke AoOs.

From the SRD:

However, casting a spell modified by Quicken Spell does not provoke an attack of opportunity.

Thanks guys, and very tactful for a RTFM answer :) I couldn't find it in my 3.0 books, is it a 3.5 clarification?

I couldn't find it in my 3.0 books, is it a 3.5 clarification? It's not really obvious, but table 8-4 on p. 128 of the 3.0 PHB says that quickened spells (or a feather fall spell) don't provoke AoOs (under Free Actions).
