[QUOTE="everchanging02, post: 1992984, member: 10834"] [b]WotC to the rescue![/b] I wanted to provide an update on this, in case the issue is in question for anyone else. Here is the official WotC responce: Hello there [everchanging02], The Swarmfighting feat does not allow creatures to count as smaller creatures. It allows them to share space with allies. It is bad practice to assume that a feat allows for more than a strict interpretation. Nothing in the feat suggests that you can shove more tiny creatures into an enemy's square, just that they can share a "5-foot square" with more friendlies than usual. And because Tiny creatures do not threaten, it's not so great for them beyond being able to share a space in a limited area. The Low Blow feat will allow the creature to enter a square and attack an opponent even if there is more than one person in that square (2 grapplers or even two Tiny creatures harrying a medium creature.) This will provoke an AoO unless the opponent does not threaten the Low Blow striker (like if he was grappling.) So if 2 petals were in a human's square and he was surrounded by 64 advanced petals who have both swarmfighting and low blow (8 squares with 8 petals each in them,) each of those petals could move in, low blow the human, then move back to their original square (sharing with their allied petals) on each of their turns. Of course the first one (or more if the human had combat reflexes) would provoke an AoO. Good luck and good gaming! *Please quote this email in any reply* ***************************************************************** Sammy Customer Service Department Wizards of the Coast 1-800-324-6496 ***************************************************************** [/QUOTE]
