[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 4362319, member: 996"] Rogues are supposed to be strikers and strikers are supposed to do a lot of damage to single targets. Rangers hit twice per round with one-handed weapons, Warlocks toss around spells, and both add a little bonus damage once per round. SA adds more, but it's usually on top of a dagger or shuriken. Yeah, Rogues are supposed to SA most rounds (that they attack at all). I'm not convinced they're supposed to do it that particularly /way/, but they are probably supposed to do it, with some help from thier party (flanking, et al). I wouldn't think so. It'd be like a creature firing out of a square with cover, wouldin't it? Starting with a corner of the square. Why can't he do that? It doesn't take an attack to target the origin square of an AE, and the AE doesn't take cover from creatures. Yep. It's no sillier than it was in 3e. Heck, if you spend your standard for a move, you can actually get through a door this ed. I should hope you could hide around a corner from an enemy. The PC would presumably be pressing himself against the 'blocking obstcle.' Grabbling a helpless creature is free, the same could be assumed for a willing one. [/QUOTE]
