I have a friend that has used the CO board to make a spiked chain fighter for an upcoming game. I'm wanting to make a character that would be a good melee fighting partner. I was thinking of a rogue/swashbuckler/fighter? that could benefit from AoO and a prone opponent. Or maybe a reach fighter myself, with a quisarme?
Feats I'm considering...
Combat Reflexes
Deft Opportunist
Expert Tactitian
Karmic Strike?
I would be interested to see what others had to say. Books are Core, completes, races, (MAYBE PHB2 and ToB but I'm not 100% certain, so focus on the first ones. This is all I can put here now. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks

Paladin would be good. A chain fighter will have weak saves so you can pick up where he's weak. Heck you can even share him some saves with the right feats.

Perhaps a barbarian with a great-axe or somthing that can dish out pain. OR to frustrate your DM, make another chain figther. Everything gets tripped all day!
