[QUOTE="BobTheNob, post: 4868000, member: 82425"] Deft strike is thorughly awesome. Our rogue once had a fight where she stood behind the tank (i.e. tank between her and target) and was able to deft strike in/shift out. i.e. she did 3or4 rounds of attacks without putting herself in danger as the they couldnt get past the fighter to her. Then, in another fight, she used deft strike, dropped her target, and thanks to the fact she did not have to use a move action to get to her target, was able to then use the move action she had saved to run into cover (as there were archers shredding the party). As the DM, I congratulated the player on such an insightful move! Thats the kicker, Deft Strike puts movement on your standard action, [B]leaving your move action available for other use[/B] If you use maps properly (I mean, no mistakes and get all your positioning right) abilities like Deft strike shine is a way that the simple text does not do justice. When used right, Deft Strike = Awesome! [/QUOTE]
