[QUOTE="Felix, post: 1246384, member: 3929"] Although less effective, I think the rogue who Improved Feints to deny them their Dex, then hits them twice is more stylish. Although would they get their SA dice on both hits? The Expert Tactician extra attack goes off as soon as someone in melee range is denied their Dex to AC, and that attack can happen before or after their normal actions... But Feinting in Combat only denies them Dex to AC on the next attack. Consider: --Rogue successfully feints as a MEA to deny their opponent their Dex to AC. ---- Expert Tactician provides an extra attack against that opponent. --Rogue takes his Standard Action to attack the opponent and applies SA dice to the hit. --The opponent is no longer denied his Dex to his AC. Does this mean the Rogue can no longer take his Expert Tactician attack? Or if this happens: --Rogue successfully feints as a MEA to deny their opponent their Dex to AC. ---- Expert Tactician provides an extra attack against that opponent. --Rogue takes his extra ET attack against his opponent and applies SA dice. --Rogue takes his Standard Action to attack. Maybe it's just me, but I think a character dedicated to feinting and taking advantage of those feints should get SA dice twice. That, and I think it's a cool fencing tactic. Is there any way to do this without resorting to magic? [/QUOTE]
