[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 6560095, member: 6939"] Few things to keep in mind. The Combat Help Action allows you to us the Working Together rules from p. 175 Under Working together it states: "A character can only provide help if the task is one that he or she could attempt alone" and "a Character can help only when two or more individuals working together could actually be productive" So a Raven could not 'help' you with anything that it can't do one its own. I would rule that a Raven doesn't 'track', but your DM may rule differently. As for combat, p.192 states "Alternatively, you can aid a friendly creature in attacking a creature within 5 feet of you. You feint, distract the target, or in some other way team up to make your ally’s attack more effective." If the invisible Imp is just sitting there it is not actually 'helping' Further, Sneak Attack does not happen if you have a nearby ally, it happens if the target has a nearby enemy. If a creature is just sitting there being invisible and doing nothing... I think most DMs would have a hard time considering that an 'enemy'. Especially since the SA description says that you get the extra damage because you are exploiting "a foe's distraction" [/QUOTE]
