Sorry pal.Bob: But then how do I make Rob wait for his flanking buddy to get into position?DM: You have to get cursed and ready a partial charge....yeah that would work alright.Bob: But I said that  Rob in game waits to act...he had the chance to act too!DM: Bob....I would ask ''Rob you wanna play?'' not ''Bob you wanna play?'' if it was in game. Now what was your flat-footed AC again?Bob thinks that it makes no sense.Rob admires John the fighter because he is always faster than him. ALWAYS. and he ALWAYS helps him in every single combat. Rob thought he was the fastest rogue in Waterdeep, but it is clear that the 8 DEX Fighter will always top him.</blockquote>
