False Opening and Sneak attack questions


Rules Questions


False Opening (Combat)

When you make a ranged attack while threatened, you can fool your opponent into thinking he has an opening.

Prerequisite: Dex 13, Dodge, Close Quarters Thrower or Point-Blank Master, Weapon Focus with selected ranged weapon.

Benefit: Choose a ranged weapon or a thrown weapon. When you make a ranged attack using that weapon, you can choose to provoke an attack of opportunity from one or more opponents who threaten you. You gain a +4 dodge bonus against such attacks. An opponent that makes such an attack and misses you loses his Dexterity bonus to AC against you until the end of your turn.

Following the parameters of this feat the enemy misses you loses his Dexterity bonus to AC, would this be the same as being denied your dex. Could a rogue apply his sneak attack die to the ranged attack(s)

Could you use this feat and use a bow if you took Snap Shot?
Snap shot allows you to make ranged attack and no AOo's if an enemy threatens you.

Now you would qualify to use a bow and allow the enemies to make AOo's against you if you choose. If the dex part of the question is a no then the rest is mute lol.


Yes if you have the feat and allow provocation and they miss you can then sneak attack that foe.

However outside of a DM ruling you would still need CQT or PBM along with the other prerequisites to qualify.
