[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 6019048, member: 1164"] Being attacked by an invisible creature is similar, but technically different than being caught flat footed. Yet one more situation in this ruleset where A+B=C but C-B≠A. Of course if that minotaur was at least a 2nd level Barbarian, then [I]Invisibility[/I] would not help anyhow. [I][B]Invisibility[/B] Visually undetectable. An invisible creature gains a +2 bonus on attack rolls against sighted opponents, and ignores its opponents' Dexterity bonuses to AC (if any). (Invisibility has no effect against blinded or otherwise nonsighted creatures.) An invisible creature's location cannot be pinpointed by visual means, including darkvision. It has total concealment; even if an attacker correctly guesses the invisible creature's location, the attacker has a 50% miss chance in combat. [B]Concealment[/B] ...You can’t execute an attack of opportunity against an opponent with total concealment, even if you know what square or squares the opponent occupies. [B]Flat-Footed[/B] A character who has not yet acted during a combat is flat-footed, not yet reacting normally to the situation. A flat-footed character [B]loses his Dexterity bonus to AC[/B] (if any) and [B]cannot make attacks of opportunity[/B]. [B]Natural Cunning (Ex)[/B] Although minotaurs are not especially intelligent, they possess innate cunning and logical ability. This gives them immunity to maze spells, prevents them from ever becoming lost, and enables them to track enemies. Further, they are never caught flat-footed. [B]Uncanny Dodge (Ex)[/B] At 2nd level, a barbarian retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses his Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a barbarian already has uncanny dodge from a different class, he automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead.[/I] [/QUOTE]
