11-02-05, 04:04 PM As I look at possibilities for a Scout/Druid/Daggerspell Shaper build, it occurs to me that this set-up would work most efficiently, most optimally, with the ability to use 10' of movement for the price of a 5' step. However, the only method I can think of for this currently is Elocator 7's Capricious Step, and Scout 3/Druid 5/Daggerspell Shaper 5/Elocator 7 is extraordinarily clunky, IMO. What other PrC's (or spells, or Feats) give a boost to the 5' step, if any?

Side-Step feat, assuming you give an AoO lets you move a free 5'

An interesting option, though with the Classes I've chosen, it could be a very daunting task to make DC 40 Tumble checks with any regularity.

Not sure how keen I am on allowing AoO's against me (light armor, etc) as a means to this end. It also seems like I'd be hard-pressed to use that 5' step to the advantage of a Skirmish. Thanks, though.

Ouch, 30k for 5'! Still, this is the most intriguing option to me. I wonder, is Scout 3/Druid 5/Monk 2/Daggerspell Shaper 10 worthwhile? If I can use Daggers to Flurry, I think it probably is.... :cool:

Shou Disciple (UE) 3: Martial Flurry (Light).

A Scout-Elocator would be a very interesting build, though not as good as Scout-Dervish.

Best bet is that Sparring Dummy.
