[QUOTE="Kershek, post: 299110, member: 2900"] Let's say combat has been going for a few rounds. The Lidda the Rogue moves around a large 10x10 pillar where the evil fighter can't see her. Next round, she comes around the pillar and attacks him. For argument's sake, the opponent wasn't holding his action or was attacking another party member. Does she catch him flat-footed and get a sneak attack, since she could have come around either corner of the pillar? Or does she need to wait a round and hide before doing it? Or does she never get sneak attack in this situation? Here are my opinions on the rules, but I would like them validated. She would get opposed hide and move silently checks when she moves to attack. If she doesn't wait one round to hide, her hide check would be at -20 (Song & Silence rule). Her move silently would be at -5 because she's performing a full move to get to him (PHB). If the evil fighter makes either of these checks, it's not a sneak attack and he's not flat footed. [/QUOTE]
