[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 2695215, member: 1656"] But the exclusions exist elsewhere - otherwise the 'typically it might' case doesn't exist. If the law says that you can only follow someone as long as they don't cross state or federal borders, then "I will follow you" can be presumed to include "unless you cross a state or federal border". "I will follow you, even if you leave the state" means that you're negating the standing exclusion on following him across state borders. But because there still exists an exclusion on following him across a federal border, he can reasonably expect that leaving the country will get you off his tail. Same with Uncanny Dodge. The normal rule is that one retains one's Dex bonus, except when flat-footed, attacked by an invisible creature, successfully feinted, immobilised, grappled, etc. But a rogue with Uncanny Dodge has an ability that removes some of those exceptions. He retains his Dex bonus, even if flat-footed or attacked by an invisible creature. Those two exclusions are struck from the list. The others remain. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
