This includes ray or touch spells (and in Pathfinder, a rogue with a couple levels of wiz or sorcerer can be downright evil, with at will 0 level spells that can sneak attack).ĭepending on if you are using PF or 3.5, certain creatures are immune. Some things to remember about sneak attack, so you don't get blindsided by a sneaky player: Not just melee weapons count! Any ranged attack within 30', so long as it meets the other requirements, can be a sneak attack. Not being able to see the rogue definitely would (the target would also be denied their Dex bonus, even if by some chance they were not flat footed).įlanking is the other biggie for sneak attacking. There are a few other instances where this is the case (ambushes), or feats that induce that status in a target. Most common flat footed time is at the start of a combat (all combatants are flat footed until they take their first action). Flat footed is just one instance where you are denied your dex bonus (a somewhat common instance). Yeah, my laziness is so great I'm trying to automate as much as possible.It is not just flat footed, it is any situation where the target is denied their dex bonus, or flanked by the rogue. also because my brain is fried and my memory is so bad, so bad I end up forgetting even important things, not mentioning a wisdom AC bonus on a flat-footed monk from some random PC/NPC Yeah, my laziness is so great I'm trying to automate as much as possible. Is there a way to edit it to work anyways? A monk's wis bonus is said to apply even when flat-footed, or mayba a way to add a checkbox such as 'apply when flat-footed'? At the moment the only workaround I have is to get an effect such as 'IF: flat-footed AC: 'Īlso, is there an extension (already made, or should I try and make one somehow? Or even better, an already existing command) which is able to link encumbrance levels as an effect? (thanks to Saint Kelrugem's full overlay extension, i'd probably go with 'NIF: unencumbered AC: ' or something like that) I've noticed that when a character is flat-footed, dex bonus ain't checked in for AC (and this works as intended), but neither the secondary stat (which in this case is wisdom) is. Now: we have a field on the character sheet to add a second stat to AC besides basic 'dex', monks/ninjas/swordsages usually go with Wis.
