Yeah ive just read it..does hold good promise, but would be kinda weird, at least on how i wanna roll my rogue... since my only true aim would be the poison immunity...and it being at level 9...would be a looooooooooooong way... :S.. or 4 i think...

Alright alright... ive been reading the tumble skill over and over...i just need a bit more explanation on how or when i can use it... i know i can ''tumble'' towards my opp... but what does..tumbling mean?? is it safer than to just hide in shadows..move silently and set up?? i know i can do rolls, black-flips and the such..acrobatic stuff..with the jump skill and so on....

Tumble allows you to get into flanking position and to withdraw from combat without taking Attacks of Opportunities, assuming your skill is high enough.

But, would i be able to tumble past them, and then hide? this is an important question, trying to learn here ^_^ and...can i use tumble with dodge/evasion to do the said...dodging ?

You would only be able to hide in this circumstance if you have the Hide in Plain Sight ability. Otherwise you cannot hide while being observed. But you do not need to hide to Sneak Attack. You merely need to flank your opponent. Or catch him flat-footed.

You don't use Tumble to avoid normal attacks. Just Attacks of Opportunity. So if your friends and allies decide to attack you, you'll have to rely on you Armor Class.

Dodge is a feat, which provides +1 to your AC.

Backflips and rolls would fall in the category of Tumble.

I advise that you forget that the Dodge feat exists.

[MENTION=29098]Rhun[/MENTION], so i can use tumble to avoid AoO??? VERY NICE..unless i mistook it, sorry..but this is great to know then .. im sure to surprise my DM on how ive improved..unless he fudges up my progress lol..but thanks a lot!

[MENTION=85158]Dandu[/MENTION] How so??? i know its a wee bit..and only a +1...but i need it for the shadowdancer class...and i've always liked dodging..hehe, i can see your point...unless it something else???

 

[Dandu]

There's some better Dodge variants that actually count as Dodge for feat prerequisites, such as Desert Wind Dodge and Expeditious Dodge.

Dessert Wind Dodge requires a dessert wind maneuver... what could that be???

And uh...i also need another feat under the dodge feat, which i read on what you recommended me... only fulfills the prestige class req's unless i am wrong..it saying, ''to qualify fora feat, prestige class, or other special ability'' would it??? and...im gonna need the Movility fear under Dodge for the shadowdancer.

Expeditious Dodge is great with a Pounce build (a build that gets a full attack on a charge).

Desert Wind Dodge rocks if you can make a DC 40 Tumble check - and move 10' as a 5' step.

They are both just generally better than Dodge (I agree with Dandu), but I thought I'd mention this as well.
