[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 4010415, member: 3586"] Err... the reason backstabbing doesn't work like it used to is *because* they got rid of facing. The moment you put it back in, then you have to worry about a bunch more modifiers. In oAD&D, the opponents your shields defends you against depends on... -> your facing, -> what side they attack you from (only protects you from ahead and left flank attacks) -> how big your shield is Of course, when can you change your facing... -> whenever someone attacks you? -> only during your turn? -> whenever someone moves next to you? When a horse moves, can it... -> move any direction -> need it turn? How much does it cost? -> Does turning provoke AoO? -> go backwards, or only forward? If you're facing one direction, what does that mean about Spot checks? Cheers! [/QUOTE]
