I don’t have Complete Scoundrel yet, but I was able to take a look at my friend’s copy the other night, and I was looking through the feats. I am a little confused on how exactly Improved Skirmish works. I don’t have the book, so I can’t really quote the wording. Hopefully someone with the book can take a look and give them their impression. But how does Improved Skirmish work exactly? How much is added to Skirmish. It says (paraphrasing since I don’t have the actual wording) an additional 2d6 but I think it is really an additional 1d6. Here are a few possible way I think it could work based on the wording of the feat.
Oh, also wanted to mention that the feat has the “Normal” section where it explains how normal skirmish works. Does the feat “override this” or is it in addition to this? See example 3.
Assume an appropriate level Scout that does 3d6 damage via (normal) skirmish.
1) If you move 10 feet, you deal 3d6 skirmish. If you move 20 feet, you deal 4d6 skirmish.
2) If you move 10 feet, you deal 3d6 skirmish. If you move 20 feet, you deal 5d6 skirmish.
3) If you move 10 feet, you deal no skirmish damage. If you move 20 feet, you deal 5d6 skirmish. -- This is because Improved Skirmish overrides the rules for “normal” skirmish and they no longer apply or come into effect.
4) Some other option I have not considered.
