View Full Version : Feinting as a free action?

I thought there used to be a prestige class that allowed feinting as a free action, but then that was errata'd away.
That said, is there any existing RAW way to get feint as a free action, for a bluffing-feinting rogue sneak attack build?

Scarlet Corsair, from Stormwrack (it may be a Swift action though).

It is free but has a cooldown
Corsair's Feint (Ex): As a scarlet corsair, you are a master of dirty fighting and trickery. You can make a feint as a free action rather than as a move action (see the Improved Feint feat, page 95 of the Player's Handbook). But once you've surprised your enemies with such a feint, it takes time before you're able to fool them again. At 3rd level, you must wait 2d4 rounds before using corsair's feint again. Waiting requires no specific actions on your part; you can fight normally during this time. Beginning at 7th level your reflexes improve and the time between corsair's feints drops to only 1d4 rounds.

5th level Invisible blade can do this, but only with dagger, kukri or punching dagger
6th level beguiler can do this if he also has improved feint.

Invisible Blade is 1/round, but with Surprising Riposte (Drow of the Underdark) the result persists for the turn.
If homebrew is allowed, you can try Wardancer (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=sn1tnl7v7nt3mtqts4l7k0avk2&topic=6309.0). You just have to move 10 feet between each feint (which is no problem, because moving a lot and still attacking is basically what the class lets you do)

As Urpriest said, Invisible Blade gets a free action Feint (1/round with the errata).
Anyone with easy access to Hustle (3Rd level power for Psychic Rogue) can use that to Feint as a Swift with Improved Feint.

Psychic Rogue + Hustle + Improved Feint + Surprising Riposte will get you your feinting sneak attacker.
