Was I aware of the door swinging at my head? Then I may be able to intentionally duck (use all my dexterity) rather than just use my baseline reflexes. Am I good at ducking (not a dex penalty). How good I duck out of the way is based on a couple of factors. A door swings out suddenly and is about to whack me in the head. Regarding realism, it is a matter of perspective. Your edit is correct, it is something I struggled with a long time ago back in 3.0 until I realized that the difference between 'bonus' and 'no bonus' is as simple as lack of advanced responses rather than the lack of any responses. I suppose I think the rule is a bit odd, nor do I understand the the balance implications that changing AC wording to "add your AC bonus" would have on the game. I mean your logic seems to circulate around the rules as they exist in the game, and not intuitive logic, or realism. Ninja attacks Fighter, who is *negated* his dex bonus (flat footed), and does not move at all (+2 to attack?)Įdit: I understand your logic regarding the baseline, I think. Ninja approaches Fighter, who is flat-footed, unaware, and immobile If that is true, are you suggesting that the motionless state of a creature is translated into the +2 bonus granted by invisibility? Interesting perspective Gauss, could you refer me to some commentary to that effect? Inactive state: you are unable to positively dodge leaving you with your baseline dodging ability (up to 0). Think of it as active vs inactive states.Īctive state (a bonus): you are positively trying to dodge. A Negative value is the lack of ability to properly respond below the baseline. It is the lack of ability to properly respond above the baseline.
