Bluff skill?
   

Ok, I've just started iron mode....wow, it'll put the fear in you. Thank goodness for the skill heal. However, I've spent many a skill point on bluff which supposedly can catch your opponent off guard in combat. However, there's no radial chioce for this...am I confusing this with taunt or intimidate? Is this skill automatic? My goal is to advance a little in normal mode, then to go and play through iron. I've made it into the moathouse without killing off any of my party.

It's not automatic. You have to 'feint' your opponent. I think it's located in the tactical menu(not sure).

Thanks vival. I haven't used feint because I don't understand much of it.

It works like this: Feinting is a move equivilent action. If it succeeds your opponent is then denied his dexterity bonus and you may sneak attack him. You may only attack once, however, because attacking more than once (with paired weapons for example) is a full round attack.

Flanking is infinitely easier to perform and more useful for the party as a whole. Don't bother using bluff to sneak attack... use it in dialogue to lie and such.
