Aid another


Rules Questions


If a character does aid another on an ally then the monster moves away and the aided character move to reengage the monster does he still get the aid another bonus?


RAW=yes
RAI=unsure. It does not makes sense to me to allow it to work.


Guess it would depend on how he aided to me.


Well I have a bard pc who appears to be able to do three(3) aid another actions a round. The pc was trying to aid another by giving an ally +6 to their attacks but the deamon moved a good 30 odd foot away.
So the aided pc moved to re attack. Do they get the attack bonus and do aid another's stack?

I think technically they would still get the bonus, I would let them anyways.

I don't believe aid another stacks but I'd have to pull my book up to be sure.

It stacks.

Aid Another

In melee combat, you can help a friend attack or defend by distracting or interfering with an opponent. If you're in position to make a melee attack on an opponent that is engaging a friend in melee combat, you can attempt to aid your friend as a standard action. You make an attack roll against AC 10. If you succeed, your friend gains either a +2 bonus on his next attack roll against that opponent or a +2 bonus to AC against that opponent's next attack (your choice), as long as that attack comes before the beginning of your next turn. Multiple characters can aid the same friend, and similar bonuses stack.
