Elder-Basilisk said:Like a good many so-called difficult rules questions in D&D 3.x, it's only difficult if you decide to make it so. If you decide that a rogue has the uncanny ability to dodge threats he's unaware of just as well as the threats he is aware of (somewhat like D'artagnan can parry foes behind him just as easily as foes in front of him in the barfight scene from Musketeer), then it's pretty easy to interpret most issues.
I never said it was difficult. I never had a problem with the specific rules or my interpretation of them.
However, this isn't really the forum to discuss why I don't like DMing the 3e version of D&D, so I'll just say it didn't appeal to me and leave it at that.
