[QUOTE="MichaelH, post: 1694545, member: 14843"] The monk in one of my games has done well with Dodge, Mobility, and Spring Attack as a feat chain. He chose Stunning Fist, Combat Reflexes, and Improved Trip as bonus feats. He also has Improved Grapple and Weapon Focus (unarmed strike). That was his 9th level repertoire. He usually attempts to stun an opponent he thinks has a low Fort save (like a wizard) using Spring Attack. He grapples those foes alot, too. He will try to trip on occasion, but not as often as his stuns or grapples. He has maxed out Jump, Tumble, Escape Artist, and Balance, which he uses constantly. Oh, and you can use Tumble and Spring Attack together, but you don't need to Tumble to avoid an AoO against your target since Spring Attack does not allow your target an AoO against you, even when you move away after your attack and even if he has reach. But you may provoke an AoO from creatures other than your target normally. If you would provoke an AoO from one of them by your movement, you may use the Tumble skill normally to avoid that AoO. You may even use the Tumble skill to move through an enemy in order to Spring Attack your target, but if you fail the skill check you cannot keep moving to your target and you provoke an AoO. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
