[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8174715, member: 6788736"] Ill just wear the AoO. Stopping movement if you hit is nice, but you've effectively now used your action to Dodge, and your reaction to deal 1d4+Dex slashing. I would honestly just ignore that PC. There are so many better things you can do with your action and reaction as a Wizard. [I]Why [/I]would they? PC 1 (Bladesinger 5, Elf, Elven accuracy, Bladedancing, AC 18 + [I]shield[/I]) and PC 2 (Barbarian, raging, GWM, reckless attack, AC 15) are in melee with an 2 Orogs and 4 Orcs. The Bladesinger uses his action to Dodge. He now has an AC of 18, enemies are at disadvantage to hit him, and he has [I]shield [/I]up his sleeve. The Barbarian uses his action to Attack twice, recklessly, with GWM toggled 'on' killing an Orog, and triggering a bonus action cleave, killing an Orc. He now has an AC of 15, and the remaining Orcs have advantage to hit him. You're the monsters. Who do you attack? Who has drawn the attacks better here? Who do you not want to be drawing an AoO from the (1d12+15 damage barbarian, or the Blade dancer)? Who do you likely ignore? Who achieved more this round in negating incoming damage from the monsters, and who wasted an action doing effectively nothing? [/QUOTE]
