01-08-07, 05:40 PM what happen: a monster cast summon monster when no player is near( the closest was 20 feet away). the closest player kill is monster and move next to the caster (who is still casting since its a 1 round casting time). question : does the player get is AoO? and maybe ruin the spell of the caster

01-08-07, 07:34 PM No. Rules aside (1 round cast time spells are full round actions which merely require a round of casting concentration), this just kinda goes against the 'spirit' of AOO. There's something wrong with getting an AOO, not on his turn, just by walking up to him.

01-09-07, 12:41 AM The Rule is in PHB-174.

Casting a 1 round spell is a full action so no AoO if someone moves in later. But if you are HIT before the begining of your next turn you must make a Concentration check or lose the spell. I the character can risk it moving in and attacking the summoner may disrupt the spell but you can't attack and then move and expect to do so.
