(Note: The defender provokes AoOs if he is moved.  So do you, if you move with him.  The two of you do not provoke AoOs from each other as a result of this movement.)Nevertheless, playing AoOs is a great exploit of this feat.  Fellow PCs standing next to you or strategically placed with reach weapons can reap the AoOs.  With good teamwork, I think you could easily average 2-3 extra attacks per combat for the guys in the white hats.  That is probably a lot better than you would be able to do with Expert Tactician.The downside relative to ET, is that you have a bit less control with ISB.  A PC designed around ET can consistently get the effect against targets of their choosing.  A bash is rarely going to succeed against the most dangerous foes.On the plus side, there are some good tactical uses of moving an opponent for its own sake, e.g. denying the full attack to the opponent by taking a 5' step back.</blockquote>
