Spring Attack

Odysseus · 02-03-2006, 06:08 AM

Is Spring Attack an active or passive feat?

Can Spring Attack be used while wearing heavy armor?

Only CERTAIN answers please (possibly from the staff).
Thank you!

well i'm not a staffmember

springattack is active feat according the handbook and is useable with heavyarmor

I've got it and it can't be activated or used.
But it is in a SQUARE box; it should be in an OCTAGONAL one.

The second question arises from the fact that in PnP Dungeons & Dragons this feat can't be used while wearing heavy armor.
In DDO nothing similar is mentioned so probably it CAN be used with a full plate on...

I'm looking for the correct answer to these questions.

Arkzein told me this...

"Moving while attacking incurs a -4 penalty to attacks.

Spring attack negates this."

Could've been changed, but I think this is the way it works.

Ok, but is this effect always active? And when using heavy armor?

Vesp · 02-03-2006, 09:02 AM

It should be a passive feat. And yes, even the PnP spring attack works with heavy armour this one should too.

Link doesn't work.

Edit: My fault here, mixed up some PnP 3.0 and a bug in DDO. Spring attack will not work with heavy armour. And nobody is perfect, so don't expect perfect answers.

I still hope to get an answer that could be the last word on the subject. :-)
