I was just discussing this feat with a friend, and we had a disagreement on the wording and what this feat effectively does. We were hoping someone here could clarify:

"In addition, your skirmish extra damage applies against any creature you have selected as a favored enemy, even if it is normally immune to extra damage from critical hits of skirmish attacks"

Now this sentance seems redundant on itself, first saying you can apply skirmish damage, then saying even if it's immune. I assume this just to mean that you can skirmish against a favored enemy as per normal skirmish rules (Moving to use it)

My friend says that this sentance implies that your skirmish damage always works against a favored enemy even if you haven't moved.

Thanks in advance.

07-25-07, 01:48 PM You still have to move to generate skirmish damage; that's a basic requirement of the ability. You can't apply skirmish damage if you didn't generate any by moving in the first place.

The feat lets you bypass the limitation on the Skirmish that it can't affect, say, Undead or Constructs,

Like Salla said: You can skirmish against favored enemies even if they are normally immune to it, but you'll still have to create a skirmishing opportunity in the first place.
