[QUOTE="Ridley's Cohort, post: 1899249, member: 545"] 14 Dex and Combat Reflexes yields 3 AoOs per round. Good enough for a 2nd level summon. If I were doing the Reach build, I would go for the Spring Attack chain anyway to give me the most options for tactical placement. So I already have a 13 Dex. Eventually that will be boosted to 14 (or 16) because I am not going to wear heavy armor (or it is mitral plate). Creatures that have SR and energy resistance almost always have DR. The weaker summoned creatures are useless here. The tactic is a means of squeezing pure offense out of weak spells. Obviously if you have a prepped SM V or SNA V or better you are not going to need to messy around with these cute little tricks. Being attacked is often a [i]benefit[/i]. The goal is to do everything within my power to keep the beefy fighter happily hacking away. If the BBEG uses an attack on the Wizard, that is a tactical win for the good guys. Obviously there are some tactical limitations if you have not cleared out the mooks. Mooks really do not last long when a specialized Reach Fighter around. Yup. [/QUOTE]
