[QUOTE="TheEvil, post: 1931517, member: 23261"] [b]Two theories[/b] Theory #1: The Space-Time Contimuum(TM) is full of anomolies. They come in all shapes, sizes and types and they are everywhere. Rogues and some other classes develope a sixth sense which allows them to detect small, localized distortions in the Space-Time Continuum (TM). They simply step behind them when they need to avoid large area effects. Theory #2: Much like the 'push aside with cloak' theory Zephalon postulated, rogues are simply better at using all available cover of any kind. MUCH better. Even if they happen to be holding that cover. The incident which brought this to mind was a story where the rogue had a sword which had a 1 in 20 chance of setting off a fireball centered on the sword when it hit something. Since the rogue had such a high reflex save, he didn't worry about it. I joked that he must have been dodging behind the hilt of the sword when the fireballs when off. [/QUOTE]
