#1 j2.504 Jul 05, 2010 19:09:18	Is there an existing list/compilation of things that allow your character to avoid becoming flat footed (and/or avoid the consequences of the suprise round and some sneak attacks)? If not, please post your ideas here. In particular, I'm looking for races, class features, feats, spells, magic items, and other tricks.  I'm mostly looking for lower level options, or small dips for the benefit. Minotaur, for example offers this, but it's a mid level solution. Increasing iniative is a workaround. Warning (alarms/glyphs) is an impractacle workaround. I'm trying to compile a generic list so I can incorporate it into different builds.

Fatespinner gives you a free reroll after 2 levels? Danger Sense feat Cadv 106 (and Miniatures Handbook): Lets you reroll iniative.

It also lets you manifest a power as an immediate action during the surprise or 1st round, and has a 10min/lvl duration. Also, there is a Legacy Weapon (item, whatever) ability that gives you the Minotaur's cunning ability. (It's called Cunning).

Thanks for the tips... what book is the cunning ability?  I tried googling/and index sites and couldn't find it.  Is it in Weapons of Legacy?
