Harrying Partners and Aid Another benefits after moving.


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade

The Harrying Partners teamwork feat allows the Aid Another bonus to stick for an entire round instead of a single attack. Does the aided creature need to stay adjacent to the aider to benefit from the Aid Another bonus after it has been granted, or can they move freely and enjoy the bonus regardless of their positions?

Example: the Dwarf with Bodyguard and Swift Aid feats is adjacent to the Halfling, while also threatening the enemy Ogre. The initiative order is: Ogre > Dwarf > Halfling. In the Ogre's turn, the Ogre attacks the Halfling. The Dwarf uses one AoO to Bodyguard the Halfling, granting him +2 to AC against all attacks of the Ogre. In his turn, the Dwarf uses a swift action to aid again the Halfling, granting him +1 to hit against the Ogre, and then moves away from the fight. Now the Halfling is alone against the Ogre.

Does the Halfling still benefit from the +2 to AC and +1 to hit vs the Ogre for the remainder of the round?


The restriction on Aid Another that requires the aider Threaten the opponent for making the Check itself. It doesn't require the aider remain there.

I was just reviewing the text of the Aid Another Special Attack, and I'm not finding a requirement that the aider and the aided must be adjacent. The Bodyguard Feat requires the 2 be adjacent. Again, that requires adjacency only for the purpose of making the Attack Roll itself.
