[QUOTE="LokiDR, post: 1780524, member: 6239"] Aaron, you must be mistaken. If you are hidden, oppents are flat footed against you. For most targets, this means they are denied their dexterity and can be sneak attacked. I supposes, technically, you could cast blur, make a hide check, move up to your target over open ground (assuming your hide check > their spot check) and sneak attack. Although this seems silly, it does seem technically correct. This should also work with blink, though equally silly. The question of power is more important, to me at least. A wizard 3 rogue 1 could blur, move accross open terain, and sneak attack. 1d6 extra damage for a wizard now in melee doesn't seem that powerful. More dangerous would be the high level rogue with a potion of blur and the enemy on an open field. Since this would require the rogue to know about the enemy ahead of time and use the potion in a situation where ranged sneak attack isn't viable, I don't see this as coming up too much. [/QUOTE]
