11-10-05, 12:11 PM I've got a couple of questions,
1) Is cat's grace still a clerics spell? In the 3.5 book, it's the only ability enhancing spell that a cleric doesn't get is this right or a misprint?

2) If you know a certain characters fighting style like say, a warforged juggernaut that will use his bull rush/charge attackto run into an opponent, can a character that beats the warforged on initiative hold his initiative until the attacker is comitted to the rush attack then take a 5 ft. step to the side, forcing the attacker to run right by you and recieving an attack of oppurtunity for running through your threatening area, then taking your full attack since you only moved 5 ft.. Would this be a bluff/sense motive check or, even allowed at all?

2. He can ready an action, or delay his action. The former probably covers what you are trying to describe.

There is no rule about declaring actions. This means if your target moves, you are allowed to simply stop where you are, giving up your actions.

And anyone except a strict DM will allow them to convert a Charge into either a move + standard action if they have not moved more than their speed, or a double move if they have.

Actually, clerics don't get cat's grace or fox's cunning.
