[QUOTE="MongooseFamiliar, post: 3264110, member: 48667"] Well, the smokestick bit was something my ninja pulled the other day to get out of an ambush. I didn't like the odds, so I used Sleight of Hand to get a smokestick out of my pocket without the fellows with crossbows pointed at me seeing it and was suddenly in a fog cloud centered on myself. Ghost Step, run off the road to hide, and left the punks scratching their heads. They didn't know if I had teleported, cast invisibility, or what. Not the most martial approach, but I prefer the smart and sneaky type. In answer to your question, yes, ghost step is enough to deny the dex bonus if your foe can't see invisible, but you have a limited number of uses per day. That said, one of the feats in Complete Scoundrel gives you extra ki uses. *grin* Though with Improved Feint (maybe a dip into the Invisible Blade PrC for free action feint), the right feats, and wise use of your hide skills and gear, you can get your opponent flat-footed without burning your Ghost Steps. Besides, it is just so damn flavorful! Edit: Meant to link to this ninja handbook. Enjoy! [url]http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=518732[/url] [/QUOTE]
