[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4034233, member: 19675"] Any time one of my Dex Monks has gone up against more than one opponent, I have gotten somewhere near full value for my AoOs. Even in the final challenge at Dallas Gameday, my Dex Based monk was averaging more than one AoO per round, and we were only fighting 2 opponents. In addition, I guarantee you that my warrior compatriots rather enjoyed my multiple AoOs when it reduced a whole row of foes to having HP just over one of their average blows- it made Great Cleave [I]really[/I] pay off. But for the use of the DCv1 Pole Fighter feat- which I didn't use in my example, mainly because I wasn't using flurry in it- all the feats in my Dex builds were WotC. And as I stated, despite giving up 2LAs to the party Barbarian, my Githzerai Monk did just fine. Fine for the Dex Monk- pass through his 20+ threatened squares- each time you vacate one, you risk a blow from the polearm or his unarmed strike. If the opponent wants to risk [ 4 AoOs + 1 regular attack; 5(7*.5 = 17.5 ] getting past the Dex monk to get to the Wiz, he's risking more than with the same manuever from the Str Monk with only 1 AoO [ 1AoO + 1 regular attack; 2(11*.7 = 15.4].
