Attacks of Opportunity?

[Sab1]

I was using a quarter staff to fight a bugbear. I wasn't doing anything fancy, just swinging. Yet the bugbear kept getting attacks of opportunity on me. Is this normal?

The offhand attack(s) might be triggering it. It uses the same attack die as your unarmed attack, so maybe something funky was done to add the offhand attacks there.

Does your character have monk levels, and if not, were they wearing gloves while you observed the attacks of opportunity? If no to both, try putting on gloves and see if you still get AoOs.

He has only monk lvls, and he is wearing bracers that has dex and wis on them I believe. Being low lvl he currently doesn't have any monk gloves to try it out with.

If you have Improved Unarmed Strike, you shouldn't be getting AoO'd.
Does it happen often, or only that time? Sometimes, very rarely, the movement bugs in a way that you continue moving in the spot while doing other actions, thus triggering AoO through movement. Were you getting any Tumble check? If not, it escapes my comprehension.

I just noticed it, it may of happened before but since I was alone, it might of just be easier for me to spot.

According to the log I hit, it shows the damage, then the next line had the bugbears attack of opportunity. I was just standing there flailing away with the QS, swearing at how often a lvl 7 monk misses. No tumble check, it happened right after I swung. Not sure if it was the off hand swing or not.

Even without Improved Unarmed Strike, you shouldn't get AoOs for unarmed strikes as long as you have gloves (any gloves!) on. Something funky's happening.
