Withdraw
Withdrawing from melee combat is a full-round action. When you withdraw, you can move up to double your speed. The square you start out in is not considered threatened by any opponent you can see, and therefore visible enemies do not get attacks of opportunity against you when you move from that square. Invisible enemies still get attacks of opportunity against you, and you can't withdraw from combat if you're blinded. You can't take a 5-foot step during the same round in which you withdraw.
If, during the process of withdrawing, you move out of a threatened square (other than the one you started in), enemies get attacks of opportunity as normal.
Making a fancy combat rouge, looking at the fast getaway talent and I think we may have been using withdraw wrong.
Assuming 1 target with 5ft reach, am I reading this right that since the square I am starting in is not considered to be threatened, I can move away from him without provoking an AOO?
