03-29-07, 11:26 AM I seem to recall somewhere that if you make something like a DC 40 Tumble check you can take a 10' step instead of a 5' step.

Does anybody know if there is some rule like this in the game, and if so, where can I reference it?

Thanks!

03-29-07, 11:47 AM Sounds like a House Rule to me.

It is not in the Epic SRD, which is where I would expect to find it if it were WoTC approved.

I believe it's actually covered in the Rokugan rule set.

This is from the "Extreme Tumbling" table in Oriental Adventures. But please note that it's a 10' tumbling adjustment, not a 10' step. That means it's subject to all the usual armor and encumbrance limitations of tumbling.

Some other ways of performing a "10-ft step" are using an item called the Training Dummy of the Master (Arms & Equipment Guide, IIRC) and using the Press the Advantage stance from Tome of Battle.

not with some OA special abilities where you can get +10/20/30 competence bonus!

this 10 foot step rocks! My "good-ninja-like" PrC uses it all the time.

03-30-07, 11:15 AM aren't those +10/+20/+30 classes, v3.0? cuz that would explain the brokenness of them to me.

03-30-07, 01:50 PM Although I am not sure of its relevance, but a 7th-level Elocator (from the XPH) also gains the ability to make two 5ft steps per round.
