Talk:Step Through The Strike (3.5e Feat)

As was discussed in chat

Should make the 5' step happen after the strike, not before. Also, how does this work when entangled, or similarly hampered of movement? When prone? Etc. --Ghostwheel 07:01, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

You asked in chat if I could do the timing change, and while I can I'm still not clear on why I should. Pointers to bad interactions would be appreciated. The rest of the clarification bits will go in shortly. - Tarkisflux ^Talk 15:50, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

This is super-trashy

I wouldn't rate this feat above fighter level. Yes, before you yell at me about some crazy Skirmish abuse, I really don't consider it that big a deal, given that you need three feats and BAB +8, by the time you can actually get it, real rogue-levellers (like, I dunno, the rogue) can do this better than you without setting half their damned advancement on fire. - MisterSinister 11:19, 11 May 2012 (UTC)

I agree, and went to bed last night thinking it came in too late. I'll be dropping the prereqs to 1 feat and BAB +2. It also takes longer than I realized to get any useful movement out of it. It compares more favorably to Power Attack than Stand Still, and will be dropped in balance. BTW, comparisons to the actual Rogue class (or any class really) aren't useful, since we have actual rogue level feat guidelines :-p - Tarkisflux ^Talk 15:49, 11 May 2012 (UTC)
