[QUOTE="Swedish Chef, post: 5415444, member: 27141"] Yes and no. The way I read it, you can take a 5 foot step pretty much any time. We allow that, provided you do not provoke an attack of opportunity. So, in most cases, if the scout wishes to melee an opponent, he would move, attack, then 5 foot step straight back, hopefully out of reach. Assuming the opponent is otherwise engaged, he won't be able to follow, allowing the scout to again move, attack and 5 foot step next round. Not always an ideal combat situation, but by holding their attack until later, or engaging solo enemies, it works quite well. In our case, the scout is specializing in bow, so he rarely goes into melee. He's forever running around the edge of combat, firing into melee and generally causing havoc, which is his intended role. He receives his bonus dice regularly. He just wants more of them. :D [/QUOTE]
