Can he hit the target (does he has a good enough attack bonus)?2. How high can you get his AC? (in case someone attacks him)3. If he's hit, will he survive?I was thinking the best way to avoid 2 and 3 was to use spring attack to get off a sneak attack and then force them to charge or some other strategy to avoid multiple attacks.  I figured for level 9, I could go with either Staggering Strike (CAdv) or Hamstring (CW).  Staggering strike - I don't lose my 2d6 dmg, but with a Fort save it's not a guarentee it will work.  Hamstring, even at half-movement will he be able to get out of range of a foe?  And ranged attackers and/or spellcasters are unaffected.Also is Spring Attack worth it at level 6?  I mean, 6th-level fighter-like classes are right where you start getting multiple attacks.  Should I hold off until level 9 for it?  Is Spring Attack worth it at all or should I just rely on Tumble and get Acrobatic Strike (PHII) at level 9?The other option I see is going defensive and getting Improved Toughness maybe.  Or Einhander to increase his AC bonus when fighting defensively.  (Side Note:  Can you use the Einhander feat (PHII) with a buckler?)Thanks everyone for the advise.</blockquote>
