But then, you'll have to force it to so move on its turn. Of course, if a potential victim has some ability to literally see across time, like Seventh Sense, that will negate the ability to catch said creature flat-footed since it will in fact be able to see the attack coming. Also, I suppose Uncanny Dodge comes into play here, but the "Time Python" should count as a Rogue of level equal to its HD for the purpose of bypassing that ability.Perhaps extensive use of the Immediate Action mechanic can work to the designer's advantage here.Obviously it'll need to have Slipstream as an ability, being immune to any attempt to attack it via time travel. And it should probably have Time Stop as a Spell-Like Ability, possibly even an at-will SLA (which would obviously be absurdly powerful- but this is an Epic creature you were envisioning was it not, Anabstercorian?).</blockquote>
