Stacking Uncanny Dodge

[Hypersmurf]

A Rogue 6 cannot be flanked except by a Rogue 10 - 4 levels higher.

A Barbarian 5 cannot be flanked except by a Rogue 9.

According to the FAQ, a Rogue 6/Fighter 10 can be flanked by a Rogue 10, but a Rogue 6/Barbarian 2 needs a Rogue 12 - since Rogue and Barbarian both grant Uncanny Dodge as a class feature, the levels stack for determining who can flank.

What about a Rogue 5/Barbarian 4/Assassin 4? All three classes grant Uncanny Dodge, but he hasn't reached a level in any of the three classes yet that grants immunity to flanking.

Do the class levels stack to grant immunity to flanking even if no individual class has granted it yet? Or does he suddenly jump from "can be flanked" to "can't be flanked except by a Rogue 19" as soon as he levels up in any of those three classes?

I seem to remember the Sage said that Uncany dodge stacks from multiple sources. So a Rogue 3/Barbian 2 can't be flanked since when you add the levels of classes that get Uncanny dodge is 5, and a 5th level Barbarian can't be flanked.

I thought I'd heard something similar... but it nevermade it into the FAQ, so I couldn't be sure if I was remembering right.

Hammy has it correct and I know he feels better now that he has my support

Oh dear.

Ah well. My players probably aren't that attached to their PCs anyway

Sure. Consider that if he hadn't multiclassed, he could have been immune to flanking for 8 levels prior to this.

Yes they all stack. In early editions of the PH, rogues could "treat her barbarian levels as rogue levels to determine how effective her uncanny dodge is", in later editions a "and vice versa" was added.

The Assasin and all other Uncanny Dodge abilities are the same as the rogues, so levels stack.

Gah. There it is, hidden under "Multiclass Characters" instead of the Uncanny Dodge description.

Thanks

Hihihihi... Too bad. Once in a month something that I know better than the Smurf, and he's still faster at finding it

That's why he is a "hyper" smurf
