[QUOTE="ARandomGod, post: 2552301, member: 17296"] Bingo! I see it as exactly like spidey sense. Of course, I also don't see it as any harder to avoid a potentially visible opponent that you don't see coming at you (flat-footed) than it is to avoid an invisible attacker that you couldn't possibly see coming, than it is to avoid an attacker that you couldn't have seen even if you hadn't been flat-footed and couldn't see to prep for the attack. I mean, I see how you could make such a house-rule, and I understand the logic behind it. I'm just saying that there's also plenty of logic the other way. ^_^ If I were the barbarian, I'd say to the GM "Go ahead and make that house-rule for rogues... and for rogue uncanny dodge. But leave my barbarian uncanny dodge alone! Unless I play a rogue ever, in which case I want that ruling reversed. Edit: So basically I'd suggest to the GM that the petitioner get a special, free, him only feat where HE gets to do this to other rogues (but not barbs, I never trust other players) and other rogues get to do this to him.
