Talk:Jester (3.5e Class)

Power Slide

Possibly a dumb question, but I'm going to ask it anyway: "If a 3rd level Jester takes damage from an attack, he may allow himself to be flung backwards, thereby lessening the impact. He may make a Balance check with a DC equal to the damage inflicted and if she succeeds, he suffers only half damage. This is a skill check, not a Saving Throw, so abilities such as Evasion do not apply." So my question is, can you power slide away from a fireball(or similar spell/spell-like ability that lets you make a reflex save)? If you can, does power slide stack with abilities like (improved) evasion? Can my Jester (without evasion) succeed a reflex save, take half damage, then power slide to reduce more damage? If yes, does he take no damage, or 1/4 damage? --The Badger 22:17, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
