[QUOTE="Nail, post: 1883634, member: 224"] Right. At least part of this puzzle is this: unless it's the start of combat, the enemy isn't flat-footed. At any rate, I understand what you're trying to do: Come up with a way to sneak attack while in Obscuring Mist. The short version: You can't. The longer version: you [i]really[/i], [i]really[/i], [i]really[/i] can't. :) Your enemy can't have concealment when you sneak attack. You can't share the enemy's space when sneak attacking (given the situation clarified above). .....OTOH, how about this: #0) Surprise round: grapple the enemy. #1) Round 1: win initiative, enemy denied Dex bonus, sneak attack with a light weapon. If you have multiple attacks (2-weapon style, high BAB), do it again. or how about this: #1) [i]Polymorph[/i] into a size Tiny creature. #2) Surprise enemy, start of combat. Move into his space. Sneak attack him. #3) Round 1: Win initiative. Sneak attack once, then move away into Obscuring Mist. As he's flat-footed, he doesn't get any AoOs (barring a feat, anyway). :) Any other ways?
