Rogue Feat: Stand Up and Mobility


Races & Classes


The Rogue Feat Stand Up lets a rogue stand up from a prone position as a free action, but still provoke attacks of opportunity for standing up while threatened by a foe. Mobility lets you avoid provoking attacks of opportunity due to movement. Since standing up from a prone position is normally considered a move action (hence, movement), would Mobility help avoid the AoO in that case?

Also...is Survival as a Rogue Class Skill a typo?

Unless pathfinder choose to alter this. Actions that require a 'move action' are not considered movement (and thus would provoke still). That's the WotC stance on it, and they address standing as a free action directly its in the official FAQ. I tend to doubt that Paizo will make an exception.

As far as survival goes. Its listed in the class description, which as a general rule takes presidence over being listed in a table (as its not listed as a rogue class skill in Table 5-4.) However I tend to believe its an error in the class description.

The standing from prone rules don't really spell out that that action is not movement. Can you give me an example that shows a "move action" that actually involves movement (such as standing from prone) that WotC calls out as not being actual movement?

Otherwise the wording seems to support BERTG's assessment.
