[OOC] Return to the Rusty Rat

[Lugar]

Well what my actual intent was with rolling is that IF it is different in any way from crawling is that it's kind of a dodge maneuver you see in martial arts movies or K1 or whatever when the prone figure rolls away from the way of a blood-and-meat air-ground missile just in the last moment so that the missile cannot react and thus the attacker loses its advantage because both of them need the same time to scramble to their feet. For such a maneuver you need some skill, definitely. But for moving around, being lame and prone to attacks, it's the same as crawling so let's agree there's no such movement maneuver like "rolling".

Are you familiar with skill tricks? There's a whole section about them in Complete Scoundrel and they are rather interesting since I've never used them. Simply put, one buys a skill trick by spending 2 skill points. I forget the name of the skill trick but there are several that allow you to make tumble checks to get up from prone as a swift action, crawl or roll away without provoking attacks of opportunities, and other fancy tricks.
