[QUOTE="rainsinger, post: 4828267, member: 83325"] Well, take that a step further... he's basically given up EVERY feat he has to up his AC in one way or another, so he's not using a superior weapon or getting any other damage bonuses from feats or really ANY offensive usefulness from all those feats at all... So while he is still technically a striker, really what he's done is convert his striker character over to a defender that can hop around a lot. My second thought though is to look at this in a logical tactical way... Ex.: They go up against an encampment of goblins (or whatever). After a couple rounds of the minions and front-line warriors not being able to hit the guy, the magic users and/or artillery are going to view him as the "tank" or flat out highest threat, even though he might not be, and likely start pummeling him with ranged/magical attacks. In a real battle where there is no conventions or rules of conduct, you always go after supply lines first, and then you try to take out your biggest threats. In smaller battles that means take out the Leaders and then the people that appear to be the hardest to kill. Swarm tactics can be very useful here too... that avenger pisses off a few orc warriors and they start calling all the reinforcements on him, no amout of AC is going to outweigh the odds of getting hit at least once or twice per round when he's got 5 or 6 guys on him. Though, you do have to give him credit for going for a really specific goal and hitting it. :P [/QUOTE]
