What is the advantage of this really? You can already move and feint and gain the benefits next round. All it seems like it does is allow you to feint and then attack on the same round. Is that really all that useful?

If you're alive next round.

02-04-06, 11:30 PM flick of the wrist + improved feint and you can sneak attack every turn unless the enemy moves away from you, since you can use flick of the wrist only once against the same enemy in a battle.
