[QUOTE="Alariel, post: 495996, member: 6797"] Yes, Alariel's Dex is 30 (she's 20th level right now), but 5, or even 10 levels ago, her Dex was around 25+, giving her roughly 7+ attacks of opportunity with Combat Reflexes. The drawback for Alariel in particular is that she doesn't wear armor (she prefers some form of Bracers of Armor and Dex buffing items to beef up her AC). Still, she doesn't need to buy the parry feats that correspond to wearing armor. I'm just considering this for the future. She's part monk, part fighter, part weapon master, with no armor, a very high dex, and two light weapons. Getting the parry tree would be an excellent bonus to her repertoire, as it would mean she could get surrounded, make 10 parry attempts against those attacks, and still be able to attack 7 times on her turn (assuming full-attack action, no haste). If it doesn't look like there's anything wrong with this, then I might go for it (in lieu of some epic feats, for the time being). Oh, and fully equipped, Alariel really has a 36 Dex. She just got her Gloves of Dex +6 nuked by a flux slime recently and needs another pair. Then she'd get 13 parry attempts, theoretically. [/QUOTE]
