[QUOTE="Mal Malenkirk, post: 84308, member: 834"] :rolleyes: Again with ignoring opponent. Look, let's say a commoner and a rogue flank a knight in heavy armor. The Knight decides that he is going to ignore the commoner. The commoner simply pushes the knight and now he isn't only flanked, he's off balance as well! The rogue can sneak attack. The commoner could also hit the knight over the head with a stick. Would it damage the knight? Unlikely but it'll surely distract him. Again, the rogue can sneak attack. The moral of the story? You can't "ignore" someone who is bashing on you. If you don't avoid his blow, you'll be jerked around by the impact anyway and it'll be easier for the other opponent to hit you. If you don't believe me, just engage two friends in a pillowfight and "ignore" one opponent. See what happen. Even if the opponent you choose to ignore is your little sister, you'll find it hard to avoid being distracted when she'll jump on your back screaming! [/QUOTE]
