Message: <blockquote data-quote="Evilboy" data-source="post: 2394455" data-attributes="member: 186">I don't know if spells would be a problem, simply rule that aiming a spell and casting a spell occur simultaneously.So, if the player wants to move before a spell is cast, they can, but they couldn't "dodge" a spell, as they would either move before the spell occurs (allowing the caster to aim anew) or they'd move after the spell occurs (as they cannot interrupt the aim--->cast transition).These rules would probably make hiding near cover much more important.Give ground sounds nifty, but for some reason rubs me the wrong way.  Don't know why, probably because a feat / reaction that gives your opponent a choice isn't something seen in regular 3.5.  You could probably balance this with a dodge bonus being given for each 5' of space sacrificed (up to a certain limit), which would have the nifty little side-effect of making your placement in a duel potentially important, and making "ground" a resource in a 1-on-1 battle.I like the abilities, but I'd try to implement most of them as feats, otherwise I think you'll be up to your eyeballs in people diving for cover and giving ground.  Maybe have a harsher penalty for using these last-ditch manuevers?  Perhaps a non-feat version (you lose, say, a move action instead of just a 5' step) and a feat version (you lose a 5' step).Lastly, I do like hit the deck, but don't really like the tumble check.  It makes sense, but does tumble really need to be any more useful as a skill?</blockquote>
