10-30-07, 08:31 AM The text description of the Acrobatic Strike feat (PHBII) says that it will provide a bonus of 6 when performed properly. The Feat Chart lists the bonus at +4.
Which is correct? (we found no mention of this on the errata).

10-30-07, 08:58 AM My copy of PHBII has the text stating +4 with the table showing +6. The standard rule is text trumps table, so you would get a +4.

One of my teammates actually took the book home with him this morning. I was just posting what I knew the question to be from memory. I hope my memory is faulty, otherwise my text is counter to what your text says (and likewise the charts). ;)
Thanks. We went with the +4 last night and I was tasked with finding an answer here post-game. I love being the DM :D

Oddly enough I found a website purporting to be the D&D wiki that described the Acrobatic Strike as having neither. It simply forefend the target you tumbled by his DEX bonus to AC (and thus vulnerable to Sneak Attack).

You are thinking of "Acrobat Backstab", a skill trick that you can use once per encounter.

I wasn't thinking of anything except "Is it +4 or +6?". That site wasn't helping. :D

So why did you bring up "vulnerable to sneak attack" ? Acrobatic strike has nothing to do with sneak attacks etc.
