08-15-07, 12:57 PM If I recall there is a book that describes a use of tumble that lets you make a 10ft move in place of your 5ft move.

Does anyone know what book that is in?

Or at least what the check is in order to do it?

08-15-07, 01:11 PM It's in the "Oriental Adventures" 3.0 book. The DC is 40. I'm not sure whether or not this is balanced, due to it being 3.0, but hey, I'd allow people to do it.

Monk's training Dummy.

AKA - the most abusive item for a Scout build to get their hands on!

I'd totally dip into monk for a level if I were a scout and had a DM that'd allow me access to that magic item.

08-15-07, 01:32 PM I personally don't see anything "unbalancing" about it. The DC is high enough that players won't be making it at low levels. Later on, it can be useful, but nothing game-breaking.

However, it is a lot of fun on a halfling (or gnome, or dwarf, or any 20ft speed race) any class x/elocator 7. Moving their full speed without provoking AoO's and allowing a full attack in the same turn (with a possibility of halfway through the move). Loads of fun, but not overpowering at the levels when this is possible.
