[QUOTE="Thefifthglyph, post: 2222855, member: 31729"] May be a popular build but does not makes it an official one. The logic in the roleplaying factor may also be questioned since it is in the [B]optimization board[/B]. "Beginning at 2nd level, if the D.O. makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a succesful save (such as a red dragon's fiery breath or a fireball spell), she instead takes no damage, since her [B]prescience[/B] allowed her to go out of the way faster. This form of evasion works no matter what armor the divine oracle wears, [B]unlike the evasion abilities[/B] used by monks and rogues." - Complete Divine page 36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- form [n] a category of things distinguished by [B]some common characteristic or quality[/B] -hyperdictionary. com The [B]essence[/B] of something. - dictionary. com prescience Knowledge of actions or events before they occur; foresight. - dictionary. com [n] the power to foresee the future - hyperdictionary. com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The statement provided compares and differentiates the two abilities. The similarity is the effect having the same essence/common characteristic in taking no damage during a successful reflex save that would normally deal half damage; while the difference points to the use of the ability even on heavier armor(plus the fact it is [B]not STEALTH but FORESIGHT[/B] that aided the D.O.). PO does mimic the evasion ability in some ways but in no means the two are [B]identical[/B]. Good luck on finding a god. BTW how can a character hide his beliefs from his deity during those 5 levels before he gets to F.L.? [/QUOTE]
