Weapon Master Issue? Wth is this?

Post by dominantdrowess » Mon Sep 24, 2018 2:23 am

Saslae is a weapon master. This means I she has the 'Spring Attack' feat as a pre-requisite of getting the 'Whirlwind Feat'.

Here's the problem I keep encountering:

What -is- this? I am the only weapon master I know that encounters this issue.

Spring attack is basically a guaranteed minimum of 15 on a tumble check, when you move past a hostile enemy's threat range, only.

This means that any spellcasting action or use of spell items, including potions, will still draw an attack of opportunity if done within melee range of a hostile target.

If you still have that combat log, what actions other than attacking had you been taking in that instance? What about other instances?

Tumble only applies to attack of opportunities sourced from movement, and not from things such as using a bow up close, casting spells, etc.

The fact there's a tumble roll shows it was due to movement around or pass an enemy, which Spring Attack should apply to. It's a strange occurrence.

The ONLY thing that causes a tumble ... is the same thing that Spring Attack guards against. This isn't potions. It says "Tumble". lol.
