In our gaming group our "Ninja" Druid claims his Wild Shape of a Lion leaps and twists in battle, using Tumble to negate AoO, I haven't been sure how to rule that. For the moment I let him use it to disengage without provoking.

The mental image always brings a smile to everyone at the table.
 

Hrm... I'd like for Simon to let me know how he feels about me attempting that... since I am pretty sure fighting this chika alone would be a rather silly thing to do. Particularly should I fail another Fort save. Just glad it ain't Con damage... lol
 

By the book, anything with the Tumble skill can use it to avoid AoO's or pass through enemy squares or anything else the skill can be used for. One's humanoid-ness or tiger-ness is not in question.

Of course, I think finding a natural tiger who's trained in Tumble would be a rare thing. :)

Sigfried and Roy notwithstanding.
 

I don't think a tiger's going to be performing backflips* and the like, but I don't see why "Tumble" in this sense doesn't just mean "to move in an agile fashion to avoid attacks", so sure, go ahead.

*I'm sure there's some Youtube footage of cats that'll prove me wrong.
 


Thanks Shayuri, that was most... enlightening :confused:

And of course, I forget that their tops are made out of rubber and their bottoms are made out of springs.

Alrighty, I'll try to get the post up sometime today.
 


As often as we can, I'd say. We try to do it more frequently than that, but sometimes it doesn't work out that way.

Also, I've updated Annika in the RG. There's a pic now! Yaaaaay...
