[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 2310057, member: 2011"] Just wanted to share a tactic that came up in our game recently so that other players (and DMs) can take advantage of it. My psion used Metamorphosis to change into a large troll recently, so in order to avoid any Attacks of Opportunity due to reach, the DM in our group had the NPCs do the following tactic (where p and multiple p's are my psion and a through d are the foes): a . . . . p a . p p p p b a . p p p p a b p p p p c a b p p p p . c a b p p p p a b c p p p p d a b c p p p p . d a b c p p p p . . d a b c p p p p a b c d p p p p a b c p p d p p Since foe a was within 5 feet of my character, each additional foe was able to move in behind him and then shift in 5 feet. Since they had soft cover from the other closer foes, I could never get an Attack of Opportunity. I had not particularly thought of this earlier, but it seems like a good tactic to get close to large creatures and prevent them from AoOing. [/QUOTE]
