[QUOTE="frankthedm, post: 4210675, member: 1164"] [I]Exotic prof. Spiked chain[/I] and [I]Enlarge person [/I] grant 20 feet of reach. means foes cant get you you without taking AoO's Thats bad enough. But if you have some dex to spare Combat reflexes lets you get AoOs on multiple foes. But the real cheese come in with Combat expertise and Improved trip [int 13]. With that, you take your AoO as a trip and most likely put foes on their ass as trip only uses Str [or Dex] and Size mods {You are large [+4] and also have +4 from the Improved trip feat]. After that puts the foe on the ground, you take your follow up attack.[+4 to hit the prone victim] Now to Stand Up the foe has to draw an AoO, while he is still suffering the penalty from being prone. Oh and if the foe has to move to attack you, you’ll get another AoO [movement] and repeat the process. Now as you get some attack bonus, you might want to consider power attack. Touch attacks are easy to make anyways and since your plan is to be attacking prone foes for damage with a two handed weapon, -4 to hit for +8 to damage might be a fair trade. Do note that once you get more than 10' reach, you have to use the 1, then 2, 1, then 2 method for counting diagonally across squares. [IMG]http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/4659/clericimbiggenedsv9.gif[/IMG] Also when makng Melee attacks against those who are not adjacent to you, you determine cover as a ranged weapon. So good placement can bone you out of a few AoOs. And here is how to use cover to deny the enlarged combatant all AoOs in the above situation. Trolls might not be tactical enough to do so, but this is just to show how to use cover to avoid AoOs. [url]http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/1118/aoodenialtk1.gif[/url] [/QUOTE]
