[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 6203291, member: 6674868"] The context for this idea came from our last session. We were at camp, heard a scream in the woods, we decided to investigate. My 35lb gnome climbed onto the shoulders of the 22 Strength Orc as the party waded into the woods. The scream was a distraction, and the NPCs back at camp were being attacked. As we were returning to camp from the woods, cannibals had already dropped some NPCs and were carrying off some others. The orc had a 20' move speed due to armor, and we had rough terrain. Every round counted, and one NPC died. Given the above scenario, as we were fleeing to the scene, if it were possible to get my character to combat a round or two sooner than it took us, the NPC likely would not have died. This entire idea stemmed from trying to figure a way to maximize utility out of movement. Since this throwing maneuver is appearing impractical, I'll simply keep [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/e/expeditious-retreat"]Expeditious Retreat[/URL] prepared daily. Simpler, effective, way less awesome. [/QUOTE]
