Dodge and Mobility alternatives

[hong]

Oh, you want to get damaged, all right. However, chances are you'll have no problem filling your damage pool. The trick is to fill it up, but not have it overflow.

If you know what I mean, and I think you do.

I see what you're getting at, Hong. I'd actually rather get a little overflow, because you get extra benefit from that last point of delayed damage pool being filled up. Adding DR would be like peeing in the pool.

How about some fast healing, then? I'm thinking a Shapechanging druid with warshaper levels, on top of all the Crusader levels... hm. Interesting.

I have a character I want to get Elusive Target, but dodge and mobility aren't the greatest of feats. I know there was recently a thread on dodge alternatives, so if anyone has a link to that, it would be much appreciated. Also, are there alternatives to mobility in the same vein of "you can take this and qualify for things that require mobility"? I don't know of any, but maybe someone else does?

The 'Expeditious Dodge' feat from Races of the Wild specifically replaces Dodge where it is needed as a prerequisite (it grants +2 dodge bonus to AC if you move 40' in a round so it wouldn't be that useful to a slow moving heavy armor character type though).

Don't forget: you can't Tumble in armor that reduces your speed.

I've been toying with a dwarf fighter for exactly this reason - tumble in full plate armor, baby!

Can't tumble very far, but hey, it might work!

There is also desert wind dodge from Tome of Battle.

Give him armor spikes and have him tumble into creatures, like a goron from Zelda. Rolling Dwarves of Death.

He should be good and thoroughly crazy, too. Maybe suffers from a debilitating disease that makes him utterly hairless (that would drive a dwarf crazy, eh?).

Could run him a bit into monk to get improved grapple... hmm...
