[QUOTE="William_2, post: 2529361, member: 13925"] Total defense seems like a good choice in that situation, since the AOO is coming unless the Golem uses theirs some other way. A Phantom Steed does not fight in any event, and in this case I think should be regarded as a friendly creature, to the degree that it is a creature at all. One question I have is how horse-like is this DMs Phantom Steed? Does it take up a 10’ space? If so, it seems to me like it would be terribly easy to get by a semi-substantial creature that does not fight, exists only to serve an ally, and is milling about in a 10’ space. If one blow from the Golem killed the PC, the issue of whether the Steed blocked them does not seem relevant. So, I suspect they were pinned there and pummeled to death in another round. Could the character really have done nothing else but stand in that one spot? And what about their teammates? Sounds like they were in a very dicey situation even before the DM may have decided that the Steed was blocking the way. [/QUOTE]
