03-03-07, 11:38 AM When a character tumbles past an opponent, is the character's speed reduced by half just in the squares he is tumbling through, or is the speed reduced even after he has passed the oponent? For example, John has a normal movement of 10 squares. If he tumbles past Mary, does he only count each threatened squares as two squares, or does he count every square as two for the rest of his move?

Thanks!

...bla bla bla she can tumble at her full speed without taking the normal -10 penalty on her Tumble check...

That is clear but what about the sprinting tumble then?

CA says:
You can try to tumble past or through an opponent's space while running by accepting a -20 penalty on your tumble check.

Shouldn't that penalty be reduced too?
I mean if she is focusing on climbing, balancing and finally tumbling faster than everybody else why does she have the same penalty like everyone else when running & tumbling?
And i also have the Run feat which gives her better maneuvarability (IMO cause she retains her dex to AC) while running..
I think that my DM should somehow reduce this penalty in that case?
Any suggestions?
