Message: <blockquote data-quote="Akhkharu" data-source="post: 422696" data-attributes="member: 346">I'm currently in a campaign and for the first time, I'm playing an archer.  I'm also playing the rogue in the group.  There is only 1 other character, a human barbarian, both of us at 3rd level.Anyways, we are in a dungeon crawl and when ever we come to a door, I check it for traps then move back to leave room for the barbarian to open it first.  I always tell the DM that I have my bow drawn and ready to fire.  The barbarian opens the door and inside we see a kobald taunting a chained orge.  The kobald jumps, hearing the door open, pulls a chain which frees the ogre.  The ogre then smashes the kobald dead.  All of this happens before I even ask if I could get a chance to shoot my arrow.When I asked the DM if I could get a shot off, he said that I couldn't because I wasn't expecting anything.  I left it at that, as I didn't wanted to interupt the game so we continued on with the combat.Before some people ask, the kobald would not have expected us as we have found what we were looking for a few days ago and only came back to kill some time, having finished what the DM planned for that day early.What I ask of you all is to help to me to try and convince the DM that when my character does cover the barbarian with his bow, he might be able to take a shot off before combat.</blockquote>
