Wrong there spider... A rogue can only sneak attack from cover if his target is within his ranks in hide away from him. So, if your rogue had 20 ranks in hide, then he could charge the ogre and his attack would be a sneak attack. Of course, since he's charging his hide would be at a -20 (or...

Sneak Attack: Any time the rogue's target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks the target, the rogue's attack deals extra damage. The extra damage is +1d6 at 1st level and an additional 1d6 every two levels...

Ignore this thread...sometimes my brain just doesn't work...

While I understand that logic, I'm not convinced that's 100% correct. There are several options under a Full Attack Action... You could also Fight Defensively, which works both as an Attack action and a FA action, while Whirlwinding...or Dirty Fighting. I could have sworn there was a thread...

Greetings all. If you have an official email relating to Dirty Fighting, could you please post it in this thread? Basically I am wondering if you could use Dirty Fighting with Whirlwind...or any other Feat that requires the Full Round Action. Cheers.

I disagree with that. Whirlwind is a Full Attack Action. I think that 'regular attacks' in this case applies to all of your attacks for the round, rather than 'regular' = On-hand attacks. That is my interpretation.

Probably not. Remember that not all bonuses stack with each other. Just because you have Bracers +5 and you CAN wear them with armor DOESN'T mean that they stack with your armor. If you can wear the items at the same time AND their bonus types allow for stacking, THEN yes, the bonuses would...

Or if you're in a situation where you want to do some serious tripping...whirlwind + trip + Improved Trip just rocks...not only are they on the ground, but you get a +2 to the follow-up attack, they have to spend a move-equiv to stand up, AND they can't perform a full attack action against...

Quintesiential Rogue has some new stuff on Poison...as does Song and Silence I believe...

I'd vote to allow the attacker to attack every foe within his threat range. Immagine a gargantuan creature with whirlwind attack...it'd lay WASTE to armies... bwah ha ha ha hah... It would have to be a house rule, or a new feat (Greater Whirlwind)...

Correct sir. If the opponent fails his spot check, the rogue is hidden and can perform a sneak attack. Once the rogue has attacked (ie, his FIRST attack) he is no longer hidden. All of his attacks from that point on are NOT sneak attacks as the rogue is NOT hidden. By "always sneak" I...

You might want to re-look at Defensive Casting. If you fail your defensive cast check, you DO NOT provoke an AoO...your spell simply fails and you loose it. SRD: Casting a spell while on the defensive does not provoke an attack of opportunity. It does require a Concentration check (DC 15 +...

Yup. So, it states specifically that Bard's CAN NOT cast spells and use their bardic special ability... Then the it also specifically states that Bard's spells can not be silenced... It's pretty clear...twice stated in fact... Anything else would be a house rule.

The rules really don't say. Our group has always played that you can't do this. I could have sworn that I read somewhere that you could not cast spells while using your bardic ability...but I can't find it now... I'd vote no. {EDIT} I gave up looking to easily...right there in the class...

yeah...just cast that fireball...over there... (sorry, couldn't resist) :D

Out of curiousity...does Blindsight specifically state you can see hidden people? As per my question on this board earlier, does hidden = invisibility? In my opinion, Blindsight does NOT protect you from being flanked. If that was the intention of the feat, it would say so. There are several...

In our group we have decided that you may choose to dodge any opponent during your turn, but you can not change who you are dodging until your next turn. That way, you can not walk past 10 enemies, and dodge each one as they get their AoO against you. This is a house rule. WRT Total Defense...

Re: Ruling or Quote? Yup...that's why I was after some "official" clarification. The rules around hiding are very vague at best. My group has hashed and rehashed hidding/sneak attack quite a bit. I don't even know if we came to a concensus or not... My opinion is that hidding does grant...

Other than using the basic Ride skill and associated feats, there aren't any speficic rules dealing with Mounted combat that I'm aware of.

If the monster is casting a spell with verbal or somatic components, then the PCs would definitely get another listen/spot check. If the monster was trying to do this quietly and still remain hidden, then let them make an opposed hide/MS roll. I'd also make them do a concentration check...
