[QUOTE="Sekhmet, post: 5879820, member: 97602"] -- Mocking Blows: fighter bonus feat, no prerequisites Whenever you successfully hit an opponent with a melee attack, that opponent is "marked". A marked opponent receives a -2 penalty when attacking anyone but you, and all of your allies gain a +2 morale bonus to saving throws and spell resistance against the abilities of the affected opponent. This bonus does not stack with itself. Retributive Strike: fighter bonus feat, prereq: mocking blows Whenever a marked opponent attacks an ally of yours, if they would not otherwise provoke an attack of opportunity, they provoke an attack of opportunity. Followup: Whenever a marked opponent provokes an AoO, you can choose to forego that AoO to instead take a 5-foot step. -- I cleaned up the feats to make them a little more readable, and to clear up any cloudy grammar. Some of your text is redundant, so I pulled that out, too. Also, I like the ideas. I don't see how they make being a "tank" more reliable, though. A small penalty (-2/+2) doesn't mean too much to me if it means going after a squishier target. Likewise, provoking an AoO doesn't mean a whole lot if you can't get to me, anyway. I just need to make sure I'm out of your Reach. [/QUOTE]
