[QUOTE="Gaiden, post: 2311510, member: 103"] Weapon Master (in S&F and OA) EWM - as already suggested Knight Protector (gives bonus AoO's as well as a variety of other interesting benefits) Shadow Scout (if your ranger-type class offers favored enemies) Other than those, I would second what has already been said: feats are what you need - not class levels. Combat Reflexes Spring Attack Sidestep Power Attack Leap Attack (ahh the images of Kain are almost nostalgic) Improved Trip (great for keeping up the AoO) Standstill Hold the Line Close Quarters fighting (most creatures that don't provoke AoO's from grapples are large and have reach) Extended Reach The feat that allows you to get a free bull rush attempt with an attack only good for 5' (I think it is part of a tactical feat) A few monk levels are useful for IUS (threatening 5' away) and the host of other abilities a low level monk dip grants. 2 Sorcerer levels are also not a bad dip because you can gain access to true strike and shield. If you go for the Kain concept, definitely pick up Raptor School and if you qualify go for the diving charge. A jumping character can be quite scary. Once you jump over 10', you now worry about falling - the great thing about falling is that the damage applies to what you land on as well as yourself, but only you benefit from jump and tumble scores that reduce falling damage. When you attack as part of a charge while "falling" effectively the damage is added to the damage for the attack roll. [/QUOTE]
