[QUOTE="morez, post: 2656584, member: 37628"] My question on some interpretations: 1. A player is flat-footed in the 1st round of a combat for a rogue (e.g. to determine if a sneak attack may apply) if his initiative roll is lower than the rouge's initiative - or said different: A rouge can sneak attack someone with a lower initiative roll in the first round - in this case nearly in every combat a rouge that wins the initiative roll would get an sneak attack at the 1st round, especially with a ranged weapon (does this apply only if at least the rouge's victim is surprised or also if both are surprised but the rouge's initiative is higher) 2. The victim of the sneak attack must be surprised at the beginning of the combat but the rouge mustnt be surprised to get his sneak attack (if creature isnt surprised it's actually already in combat - in my eyes) would be glad to get a clear answer. maybe also clarify when someone is surprised and when not. when do you start to roll initiative checks when not? thanks :confused: P.S.: btw i cannot find the search function here at the forums - still use google to search the enworld.org site [/QUOTE]
