[QUOTE="kigmatzomat, post: 2954419, member: 9254"] Ignore the scout aspect for a minute..... QTTE let's you feint as a move action and allows you a partial action to do whatever it was you didn't want them to see. A partial charge can be done as a partial action, though I believe it is limited to movementx1 instead of movementx2. They are denied their dex bonus for this partial action, whatever it is. Expert Tactician (the revised version from Song & Silence) allows you to make a melee AoO on a creature who was denied their dex bonus. You can do this before or after your action. Since this happens on the attacker's action, the target may or may not be denied their dex at the time of the attack but the attacker still gets to make an AoO. So you feint with QTTE to deny them their dex bonus, attack as a partial action (standard attack, partial charge, etc) and then take the ET AoO at the end of your action. Why 3.0, you might ask. Simple, the game's been running for 5+ years and we're not switching mechanics; the spellcasters would stage a coup for giving them migraines. We had to write our own PrCs because players were ready for them prior to a relevant splat book being published, so the game is already accustomed to non-core classes. 3.5 sourcebooks are treated like any other 3rd party supplement: each class is vetted prior to introduction with tweaks made as needed. All the psionics are XPH, though not all the feats are available. [/QUOTE]
