[QUOTE="cordell, post: 1737108, member: 21399"] Ok this is off-topic, but if the player threatens 5 feet, and the wall is 8 feet high, he can attack from on top of the wall, yeah? Unless maybe I missed something. Other thoughts: --Jumping down 8 feet is technically more than a 5 foot step, so yeah, in my opinion, he would provoke an AoO. --I wouldn't allow a Tumble check here, but I would require a Jump check to land properly and pull off the attack. The DC would not be high, but if he gets hit with the AoO, I would add the damage to the DC (maybe/probably putting it into the "high DC" territory.) Success = allowed to make a single attack, Failure= falls prone. --The attack isn't Charging - it's less than the minimum 10 feet required. --I would try to stick with 5 foot increments when designing a place where a battle might occur. A few things are easier with this encounter if the wall is 10 feet high - or only 5 feet high, any multiple of 5 would be better than "8". [/QUOTE]
