I'm curious if the following would work as I'm thinking it would work on a Spellthief character.
Spellthief (6th level)
Feats: Improved Initiative, Sudden Silent, Sudden Still and Eschew Materials
Flaws: Vulnerable
Spells:
1st: Nerveskitter, Distract Assailant, Critical Strike
With Imp In and Nerveskitter, I think I'll be going first. Distract and Critical Strike are both swift action spells, so I can use them before an attack for sneak attack damage.
My question is, if I made them silent, still and with no materials, would I still need to cast them defensively to keep from provoking an opportunity of attack?
Right now, she's an NPC. The DM in me says "yes" but i can see the surprise value and can see a player argument of "no".
What would you guys rule?
