[QUOTE="Cor Azer, post: 2205910, member: 870"] I almost never laugh out loud; I'd call anyone who does so rather rude. I might eventually say no, but I never laugh out loud at a player's idea. I'm curious as to why you think it's not following the rules though. As I said, mechanically it would follow the rules... it would just have different flavour text. Archer - attack roll: d20 + Dex modifier + other modifiers; 1d8 for damage, can attack multiple targets that don't need to be adjacent (full attack action), take a 5ft step. Description: The archer quickly pulls his arrows and launches them in at the two guards on either side of the bridge. Proposal - attack roll: d20 + Dex modifier (after Weapon Finesse) + other modifiers; 1d8 for damage, can attack multiple targets that don't need to be adjacent (full attack action), end no more than 5ft from where began (effectively a 5ft step?). Description: The swordsman dives and twists down the bridge, his sword slicing snickety-snack into the two guards on either side of the bridge, before rolling back to where he began. For the most part, it is mechanically the same. I imagine I'd have to put some serious thought as to how to generalize it to allow for varied builds (ie, how would it be affected by a scout from CAdv?), but in this basic case, it seems fine. In any event, the point is moot. As per the other suggestions, I shall have to check out the Dervish. If what was said is true, it is exactly what I'm looking for. (Edit: more explanation) [/QUOTE]
