[QUOTE="ZuulMoG, post: 2344573, member: 32135"] Ok, now I see where this this Ignore Foe bruhaha is stemming from. I take it people are using Summoned wusses to flank targets so the party rogues can sneak attack? The Lollipop Guild would love these guys. Use the Armor as Damage Reduction Option, and rule that any creature that can't do enough damage on a normal hit to beat the DR of a target's armor is not considered to threaten him, whether he faces it or not. Should my players ever attempt to pull this crap on me, I'll nerf it so fast their heads will spin. Every kobold, orc, and wolf will have drow fullplate that disintegrates on contact with sunlight or something. Sneak attacks are done from behind, not from up front. The rogue circles around while the party keeps the foes busy, and stikes from the other side of the melee. Using SMs to do this violates the spirit of the rogue combat style in a way that makes me wonder why the person that thought it up even plays D&D. [/QUOTE]
