4 attacks from one move-equivalent action.

Post by Lago_AM3P »

A human ranger 2 / fighter 4 / monk 2 fighting TWF sword and board style has this chain of feats:

Dodge, Mobility, Elusive Target, Combat Expertise, Expert Tactician, Improved Trip, Improved Unarmed Strike, Defensive Throw, Improved Shield Bash.

Typical tactic: He gets surrounded by two guys who flank him. He moves out of the threatened area of the guy he's applying the dodge feat to, of course. The guy MISSES and hits his buddy, who is flatfooted for the attack--triggering your Expert Tactician attack against him. You get two improved trips against your foe, one from Elusive Target and the other from Defensive Throw, both stemming from the fact that you're moving out of his threat range and he automatically misses both.

Rock.

That might work (I'm not convinced Elusive Target makes the creature FF wrt you). In any case, it only works once. After that, they simply don't flank you, and don't take AoO against you.

This Expert Tactician thing doesn't work.

Expert Tactician only works before or after your action, and only triggers if they would be denied their dex bonus at that time. It does not trigger giving you extra attacks when people become flat footed against other people's attacks.

As for the rest of it - yeah that works.
