[QUOTE="Zil, post: 4242170, member: 20004"] In my 3.5 games, it seems as if the rogues are getting their sneak attacks with great regularity - not just towards the end of an encounter. Of course, it might help that I generally eschew the recommended encounter build guidelines so my encounters tend to last much longer than the norm - probably 8 rounds is average for us. Also, given that I don't have very many 5' and 10' corridor fights and my player rogues always make use of tumbling, they are always maneuvering about to get flanking advantage. And the NPCs do the same - it's like a dance. And we didn't need a new rule set to achieve this. Unfortunately when I sit down and build a 3.5 encounter according to the guidelines I find it much less interesting and combat lasts 1-2 rounds - and the players feel let down by how easy it was. I wonder how many 3.x games were run this way? Because I came from 1E and 2E, I never quite adjusted to the 3E way of building encounters but I think the game was better for it. [/QUOTE]
