[QUOTE="Liquidsabre, post: 1500564, member: 15635"] I DM a spiked chain wielder myself here's some of the things I have experienced mooks do: *Ranged attacks are good. *If they gotta go in, best to do so at full defense (better than nothing), an even better way is to combat expertise full and fight defensively then go in (make no attacks). *Cover is your friend, best to have the mooks run in behind each other, if one is still standing have the others come in behind them for cover so they don't suffer any AoOs. Plus the reach-guys allies tend to get in the way in combat sometimes, use them for cover as well. (note: Tower shields provide cover ;) ) *Readied sunders or disarms are great, lot's of mooks? Have them assist each other in the effort. *Bard, Monk, Rogue, & Swashbuckler NPCs tumble your hearts out. *Casters on the defensive no problem. I thought the cleave/AoO comparison rather apt. despite being slowed. Oh and check out the trip threads, many folk don't allow the whole AoO trip back down again interpretation. [/QUOTE]
