Hello to everyone first of all !

My questions:
1)Do I lose ac when i'm trying to cast a spell ? All dexterity based ac ? or I just get flat footed ? Does this also happen if I use a scroll ?

2)Why I get flat footed with a ShadowDancer (uncunny dodge) when I am in a darkness spell and I dont have ultravision?Or when I am turning my back to a fighter who is attacking me? Shouldn't uncunny dodge take effect ?

3)Does using taunt makes you flat footed ? (I think it does from what I experienced in a pvp server)

and a pvp one occuring from the above question
4)Any ideas on what to do while someone trying to taunt you ?

No

Quote:  All dexterity based ac ?
No

Quote: or I just get flat footed ?
You don't get flatfooted

Quote:  Does this also happen if I use a scroll ?
Yes, you ain't flatfooted when using a scroll and you lose no AC at all.

Quote: 2)Why I get flat footed with a ShadowDancer (uncunny dodge) when I am in a darkness spell and I dont have ultravision?
Because UD does not prevent flat footedness (just the loss of Dex based AC when caught flatfooted).


Quote: Or when I am turning my back to a fighter who is attacking me?
Same as above

Quote: Shouldn't uncunny dodge take effect ?
It does take effect as explained above.

Quote: 3)Does using taunt makes you flat footed ? (I think it does from what I experienced in a pvp server)
Yes, since it is considered a non combat task

4)Any ideas on what to do while someone trying to taunt you ?
KD them.

Thank you very much for those answers Kail !! Very enlightening BTW, be careful that immediately after you are done casting a spell (from your spell book or a wand or a scroll) or after being done doing any action which is considered a combat one but has an end then you'll be flatfooted unless you queue up another combat action (another spell, or engaging in melee or whatnot). You don' tneed to begin the combat action immediately just to have it queued up.
