spring attack does not work!!!
« on: January 24, 2012, 11:01:41 pm »


               Obviously 1.69 patch is not enough to fix one one the most crucial things that i encoutner personaly - i am moving around in combat and the enemy makes an attack of oportunity, even though i have the feat - spring attack present! This complaining probably won't do anyhting, i am just very mad at all the people who made so many patches, but could fix this!
Incredible...

               seems that spring attack doesnt work properly if you have unsufficient skill rank in tumble

so it is possible to workaround this issue via giving a player character bonus into tumble - if you play singleplayer module, you could either create and item in toolset with +50 into tumble and spawn it in your campaign or I could write you script that gives you the tumble bonus automatically

or potentionally, you could remove any tumble ranks your character has (in this case spring attack works too) and cheat in order to get items that grants you AC bonus you lost by this

1)There is an attack of opportunity for entering an enemy's radius if you are running and have a lower initiative. 
2)There is an attack of opportunity for moving around in an enemy's radius.

Spring attack  counters number 2.
Tumble works against 1 and 2.

               This is really easy to solve - stop running into combat!

Walk instead.

That's really funny.  All this time & I never considered that to fix the occasional AoOs using SA.

Just goes to show... the "simple' solution is usually the most valuable and economical.  Waytogo, Web!  '<img'>

Meaning the attack of oportunity will work against me even if i have spring attack in case my initiative is lower than foe's? So in order for spring attack to work, my initiative must be high?

Should be, or just don't run when you get close to the creature, engage in combat, and then you can leave freely.
A good example (not recommended) of showing how spring attack works for #2 is to walk next to two creatures that are fighting against each other, wait a little, and then start running in tight circles around them both.  Spring attack will not cause any AoO in this situation.
