Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alpha Polaris" data-source="post: 1530989" data-attributes="member: 16270">I now have a character with a long feat chain, dodge, mobility, spring attack, whirlwind attack, to which I will shortly add Elusive Target from Complete Warrior. This tactical feat grants, three abilities, negate power attack  which, well, negates the damage bonus on power attack from the opponent you dodge, cause overreach, which gives you a free, one way trip attempt against anyone missing you while making an AoO against you because you move out of a threatened square, and the big piece of cheese, Diverting Defense.I feel some wordings are quite problematic here. First of all, my chracter would have 8 levels of rogue when selecting this feat, which means he basically shouldn't be able to use it, since he could not be flanked (unless by a rogue at least 4 levels above him etc...). But still.a) What if the attacker uses the full attack action, but the first attack is for somebody else ? Does it count as "the first attack of the round from the designated foe", or one among "its second and subsequent attacks".b) What if the designated attacker uses whirlwind attack, but strikes someone else before my character. What if he cleaves ?c) What if the flankers are not allies (they both want to kill my character, but would gladly kill each other as well). Would you allow a character with this feat to designate one of its allies with its dodge bonus, in order to have said ally "strike through" him, thereby catching the opponent flat-footed ?</blockquote>
