Hello!
I'm a new GM, have never played Pathfinder before. I bought the Beginner's Box and got hooked fast, especially on the GM part. I'm sure I'll have many questions, but sifting through thousands and thousands of google searches that only answer half of my question is getting frustrating. All I want to know is a better explaination of flat-footed.
More specifically, WHEN flat-footed occurs. I get that the rule book says it happens when a player doesn't have time to act in the first round of combat, but what does that mean? That something jumps out and attacks before he can pull his weapon? How is that different than surprised?
The only thing I've run so far is Black Fang from the Beginner's Box, but I'm eager to keep learning.
Thanks, guys!
Jen
