Skirmishing Attack (Spell-Less Ranger)

[Kurt Mueller]

In the "Expanded Spell-Less Ranger" rules it states under the Ranger talent "Skirmishing Attack (Ex)" that....

"whenever you move at least 10 ft and attack in the same round , you may also apply stealth damage....as thought the target was flat-flooted.... If you make more than one attack during the round, this ability applies only to the first attack."

Normally when you move you are only allowed to attack once... does this mean that "Skirmishing Attack" allows you to move and attack with multiple attacks if you have them? As well as the stealth attack on the first attack?.... or is this an error?

It sounds to me like it was included so that if the character managed to gain the ability to move and still make a full attack (such as with the Mobility Fighter Archetype) it would be clearly stated in the rules that you only receive the damage on the first attack. If they intended for this ability to grant a full attack (or multiple attacks) they would have more clearly stated it within the text (I hope) as that would make this a much more potent ability.

I think this is made in case you get a Pseudo-Pounce Mechanic (Like Beast Totem, Dimensional Dervish, Bunch of wierd Archetype Features, etc.)

There are ways to move and still get your full attack.

Consider a mount. You move, but are still able to get a full attack (for ranged at least, melee requires some feats to make this work).

If you had pounce, you could charge someone and get your full attack.

There's also an item that allows you to move as a free action (I think...) once a day.

Cheers, that makes sense, I thought there must have been a catch

Hi Kurt - looks like these fine folks already answered your question :)

FYI, it's probably best to post questions like this in the given product's main forum page instead of here since I believe the Rules Forum is meant to be for Patfinder RPG rules questions instead of Third Party product questions.

So, in this case, it probably would be better to post such questions here:

Thanks!
