[QUOTE="Mystern, post: 3813864, member: 56007"] all the players in this campaign are fighter-esque. reason being that magic has caused an apocalyptic event in the world and has thus been outlawed. the reason i'm using a spiked chain is precicely that flanking is the number 1 use of sneak attack. let's say i'm the x on the following diagram and the o's are all the squares i threaten. which means i can potentially flank from odd angles and flank with a bunch of people at once. o o o o o o o o o o o o x o o o o o o o o o o o o plus, let's say i trip an opponent i'm flanking i get sneak attack dmg on my free attack plus a +6 attack bonus (+2 for flanking +4 for them being prone) which also means a +6 for my ally then let's say an enemy gets smart and decides to attack me. as soon as they move out of a threatened square i gett an attack of opportunity. all i need to hit is a touch ac to make a trip attempt then they fall and i get a free attack. then they stand up which provokes another attack of opportunity and regardless of whether or not i hit they have used all their actions. then it's my turn i take a five foot step back and feint (without improved feint) which is my standard action and end my turn. if they try to attack me again i get sneak attack on my next attack with them. the only possibility of something different is if they charge which mean i might want to take hold the line instead of deft opportunist.
