Sidestep Attack (Combat)

August 14, 2010

( 7 Votes ) by Bootman
After your foe misses, you adeptly step around him and attack.

Prerequisites
Dex 14, Dodge, Mobility, Sidestep

Benefit
Whenever an opponent misses you with a melee attack, you may move 5 feet as an immediate action so long as you remain within that opponent's threatened area. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity. After the step you may attack your opponent. This attack is made at your lowest bonus.  If you take this step, you cannot take a 5-foot step during your next turn. If you take an action to move during your next turn, subtract 5 feet from your total movement. In addition you lose one attack at your lowest bonus during your next turn. You may use either Sidestep Attack or Sidestep in a turn, but only one.
