Karl, if Farron will take an AOO by casting his magic missile spell, will he risk it anyway?

Well, my better judgement says "no", but in "reality" what is Farron's option other than to run? He would be loath to run while the other two are engaging the wraiths.
Can he skip the spell and get an attack with his staff? (Actually wouldn't he get to hit twice with his staff if he skipped the spell?)
I'm leaving now and won't get your answer for another hour or so, so why don't you just make Farron realize he can't take the time for the spell without leaving himself open so he decides to use his staff (as many times as he can this round).

Sure hope it is a magic staff.

Actually, that's a good question. If Farron has any reason to think the staff would be mostly useless against a wraith, at this point he'd probably withdraw toward his companions.
If he does a full out run, could he put enough distance to get off a spell next round? Is he already too close to the wraith that anything but a withdraw will provoke an AOO?
I'm hopelessly ignorant about these kinds of details. I hate it when my character is supposed to know more than I do.

Sa'id is in the same boat. Cast spell with possibility of AOO?

I had him use the staffs power to put up a shield, which is a free action.
Then I had him take two attacks. The staff is +2, and can hit the wraith.

Go, team!
RAH!

Is the shield an area protection or personal. That is, can Farron move closer to Sa'id to give him some benefit of the shield (next turn, for instance) or does it not work like that.
