Hey guys.

im currently running a sneak cleric gish and geting awesome milage out of ice slick. basically I use ice slick to make them flat footed and the sneak attck them till they die.

is there any way either me or my team mates can use ice slick to gain a bonus to trip opponents on the ice. or can i stack things like grease with ice slick to make it impossible for creatures to stand properly?

basically im asking if there are any sweet tricks to use with ice slick other than making things flatfooted

Provided the foe is effected and your are not then usually the DM should offer circumstantial bonuses.

Effectively it should stack. I am not familar with Ice slick but if it deprives the character of their dex bonus then it reduces their reflex save. It depends on if they are deemed flat footed or deprived of their dex bonus. Flat footed only applies to AC, but some deprive effects apply to all dex based checks.

Just wondering, how are you avoiding the detrimental effects of the ice slick yourself?

mostly by having ranks in balance.

not sure if that alone is enough but i get freedom of movement as a domain spell later.

is there anything i can do to completely avoid it?

Of course, make sure this isn't your only trick. Because if you can avoid it, so can they.

Cast Snowshoes, Ice Skate or Water Walking.
Obviously you could fly too.
