[QUOTE="Lyxen, post: 8426490, member: 7032025"] I was there too, and no, you could not take 5 foot steps if you had already moved, for example, and flanking required you to be on the complete opposite side. And that was assuming that the adversary was stupid enough to be medium and leave you to attack two against one. And if the AC of the monsters did not scale more rapidly than your BAB as a rogue (or even worse as a multiclass, seeing the combination that you were using), the DM was doing something wrong. Finally no, it was not easy to get your hands on weapons ignoring armor bonuses, or to use all stupid combinations that the edition allowed, as these were only options. Some campaigns (actually all I participated in) were more controlled than this and avoided the utter silliness of pun-pun and others. And DMs played the opposition carefully, including countermeasures to sneak attack being too easy. I'm not going to convince you for sure, but there were lots of different ways to play, as usual, including (once more) games in which combat was really infrequent. [/QUOTE]
