[QUOTE="Caliban, post: 480914, member: 284"] [B][/b] Kung fu movies involve martial artists with years of special training. they can do things that are normally awkward or impossible. Almost as if they learned special techniques (sometimes called "feats") that allow them to do things people normally can't. [b][/b] The rules say that you don't threaten with a ranged weapon, and that polearms can't attack the area next to you. It's seems that they do not intend you to threaten those areas when wielding those weapons, or they would have mentioned it. [b][/b] *shrug* The rules weren't written to support an actor simulating a fantasy characters abilities. Legolas is supposed to be over a thousand years old. I highly doubt he's only 6th level. [b][/b] Then he doesn't have Point Blank Shot, Rapid Shot, or Precise Shot? Sounds pretty crappy. If you are saying that he does have those feats, then what is the problem with him having one more feat that allows him to stab guys with arrows effectively? [b][/b] So you do think he's using a feat. Make up your mind. [b][/b] I think it would be a "Melee Arrow" feat that he learned because he's a bad ass. Nothing stops him from picking it up by 6th level. And it doesn't even require him to threaten an area with his bow. [b][/B] It sounds like you are trying to twist the rules to fit the movie characters. It's never going to work fully. D&D is not an attempt to simulate the Lord of the Rings. [/QUOTE]
