[QUOTE="two, post: 3420624, member: 9002"] [b]an slight improvement[/b] You can ready an attack action to attack an enemy "when they start to attack me." You can include a 5' step as part of a readied action if you have not moved. So, enemy closes, you get an AOO from reach as they come in; the enemy is 5' and starts to attack, triggering your readied action. You do a 5' step back and attack. The enemy now resolves his attack, which is a miss (you are 10' away). Next turn you can either ready the same action, or just hit him at 10' range and then do a 5' back (putting you 15' away). That means you have used one readied action and get 1 AOO (initial close), 1 attack (readied attack), another attack (round 2), another aoo (you are at 15' and he has to close again). I.E. you get 4 attacks and he gets 1. Nice way to start a combat if you are not swarmed. [/QUOTE]
