[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4037692, member: 19675"] Reread my assumptions- I specifically stated that BOTH were proficient in Greatspear, both are facing the same number of opponents. No, but with the assumptions listed, no opponent would be dropped in 1 round by [I]either[/I] monk. Its not optimal, but by damaging 4 opponents rather than 1, it gives the Dex Monk's warrior allies a better shot at maximizing their GC than the Str Monk's. Barring an actual FAQ or Sage Advice ruling to the contrary, I wouldn't, nor would I expect anyone else to, rule this as being usable an unlimited number of times, though I agree there is no RAW language limiting it thus. My reading was that a move into a threatened square is different than moving out of one, just like casting a spell would be different from moving out, but that it is similarly limited. So, a creature [I]entering[/I] a threatened space would trigger an AoO, and as he continues to move through the monk's threatened area, would trigger a second AoO for [I]leaving[/I] a threatened space. If the creature continues to move through the threatened areas, he would trigger no additional AoOs by mere movement. It is an extension of the "one AoO per move action limit," but it isn't a major one, and we are talking about a Feat, after all. Given that it has a BAB minimum and another Feat as a prereq, that modification isn't out of line. There are a LOT of tasty outsiders out there. The last 2 Dex Monks I played were both multiclassed. 1 was a Ftr/Monk/Kensai, who (as I mentioned) equalled the output of the single classed Knight. The second was a Githzerai PsyWar/Monk/Lucid Cenobite (a [I]Hyperconscious[/I] Monk PrCl that has no relevance to the damage output of the polearm). With +6Dex and +2Wis, plus spell-like abilities further enhancing his AC, he was virtually untouchable, and his Bisento was devastating. I was designing a similar PC using an Anthro Ape from Savage Species- again, a race with +6Dex and +2Wis. [/QUOTE]
