[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 2505443, member: 1134"] Really its blatantly against the rules. Mind pointing out the can't 5' step off a cliff portion of the rules and not the well because you should't be able to move for free I'm saying its too much for 1 turn crap everyone has been posting. Or the yeah if he stepped into a pit sure he'd fall or maybe onto an illusionary platform, but do it intentionally you can't do that. Why well because the 5' step doesn't specifically mention stepping off into air. And we all know if the rules dont specifically mention being able to do it you can't. Every crime in the world went unsolved until Rick Baker intented the investigate feat. And lets not forget how hard it was to research things or track someone down in town pre eberon. Thankfulky now that rules were written those things can be done in the world now. The rules cant mention every use of every action. If someone wants to try somethig not specifically listed you look at it see if it could work and make a ruling. 5' step whats the action, well while still making a full action of some kind like a full attack you can make a small movement. Is the person making a small movement yeppers, where off a ledge, what happens when you step off a ledge, you fall. That's the rules in action. [/QUOTE]
