Heroic and Cinematic action...in D20?

[Rel]

In the particular case of the OP, I'd probably rule that the player could substitute Tumble for Bluff in an attempted Feint. I'd give the defender a +5 bonus to the opposed roll though.

Upon considering Pielorinho's observation about the incredible usefulness of Tumble already (I'm currently playing a high-Tumble Halfling Rogue and it's pretty sweet), I might ammend that to substituting Climb for Bluff.

Heh... Adding a cinematic feel is one of the things action dice are for in Spycraft . Running up walls for that little bit of shock and suprise is a use of the Climb skill specifically spelled out in our Hong-Kong action supliment, The Pan-Asian Collective (along with about 80 feats covering various martial arts and melee weapon tricks). Things like skill uses tend to port pretty cleanly between D20 products...

Yep, I use action dice in my D&D games. By changing a couple of things and adding a good bunch of additional options, they make for a nice addition to the game. Both the players and I like them, so they must be working well
