[QUOTE="Ralts Bloodthorne, post: 6257943, member: 6390"] Which is the reason that if I figure something needs tweaked, I do it myself. There's a lot of stuff that's been 'official errata' that doesn't make much sense. I'd rather that the game remain fun for everyone at high levels. A light fighter/rogue jumping in, making a single attack, and jumping back should fit fine thematically, and should work. Combining it with vital strike seems just a logical choice, after all, Sneak Attack is allowed. Sometimes I worry that things will be errata'd to the point where you use Spring Attack, jump in, take AoO's, are considered flat footed, and are only allowed to attack with a flyswatter or cribbage board, and then take another AoO when you jump away, and you have no choice but to jump away, and can only jump to a square where an enemy with a readied action is waiting. Wouldn't want the martial classes to be able to do cool things. I like James Jacobs, he does good work, but at the same time I disagree with a lot of his rulings in the errata, as well as the reasons for them. Which is why I consider the majority of the errata to come out merely house-rules, and any player who tries to whip out 'official errata' to try to overrule a ruling already in play gets laughed at.
