[QUOTE="AngryPurpleCyclops, post: 4724316, member: 82732"] I think the context of this post has to do with an encounter with many city guards who surrounded both our rogue and our fighter during different points during the encounter. My wizard was behind a wall in a park and rather than let the guards just pummel our guys to death I moved stinking cloud on top of them thinking that taking damage from the cloud was way better than taking 4 OA. This allowed the rogue to get up from prone and move away(without the subsequent OA's) from the 4 guards and it allowed our fighter to stay on his feet in the middle of 6 attackers. Upon reading the rules a couple times it looks to me like the rogue should have had to make a stealth roll in order to sneak out of the cloud without the OA's but the OA's should have been at -2 if they went off. part of me thinks how we played it makes more sense than having OA's because being partly blinded and inhaling poison would probably prevent you from being very effective at OA's.
