[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 1156218, member: 1656"] I confess, I read it slightly differently. I've always seen it that if the enemy is denied his Dexterity bonus during your action, then you receive the bonus attack, which can only be made after your action... even if the enemy is [i]no longer[/i] denied his Dex bonus after your action. The standard example I'd use of that is a Feint. If I successfully feint, then the next time I make a melee attack against that opponent, he will be denied his Dex bonus. If I don't [i]make[/i] a melee attack, then he is not denied his Dex bonus, and Expert Tactician is irrelevant. If I [i]do[/i] attack, then he is denied his Dex bonus against the "next" attack. In the case of a Full Attack, that means he's denied his Dex against the first attack, but not against the rest. But while I'm making that first attack, he is an enemy who is denied his Dex bonus against me, and Expert Tactician triggers. I obviously can't make an extra attack before my action, which has already started, but I [i]can[/i] make it [i]after[/i]. By the time I've finished my Full Attack, he has his Dex bonus back... but I still have a bonus attack I can use against him. That's how I've read it since Song and Silence came out... though I can certainly see your reading as valid. -Hyp. [/QUOTE]
