Alright, this is a purely hypothetical situation here, but let's say I'm playing a naturally tiny-sized race. A Pixie or a Jermaline, whatever you want. Now, knowing that I am incapable of reaching into adjacent squares and therefore need to share spaces with creatures to hit them, would it be possible to use the Tumble skill to ignore AoO as I tumble into an enemy square?
To make sure we're all on the same page:
"Very Small Creature
A Fine, Diminutive, or Tiny creature can move into or through an occupied square. The creature provokes attacks of opportunity when doing so."
"DC 15 - Tumble at one-half speed as part of normal movement, provoking no attacks of opportunity while doing so. Failure means you provoke attacks of opportunity normally. Check separately for each opponent you move past, in the order in which you pass them (player’s choice of order in case of a tie). Each additional enemy after the first adds +2 to the Tumble DC."
These are the definitions as they are in the books.
Assuming there is little grey area, and because I can occupy squares with creatures in them, as long as I make the check I can get in their square without suffering AoO? Is that right?
