12-07-06, 10:32 PM I know I saw a build here a while back, using I think Crusader and Fighter levels, maybe some other stuff, that's primary goal was to get AoOs for -everything-. Using things like Thicket of Blades, Karmic Strike, and other stuff I can't remember, it would get AoOs if the enemy moved, if it didn't move, if it attacked, if it didn't attack, etc, and was all in all I think, a very effective build.

Now here's the trouble, see. I can't recall what the build was called, so I can't google it, and a runthrough of the optimization library brought up nothing (not surprising, I don't think it's been updated recently). So I was wondering if what I'm describing is ringing a bell with anyone, and if I could get a link to the build?

Thanks in advance.

1. I think Defensive Sweep is, unfortunately, only for targets adjacent to you. Actually, they have to START adjacent and not move, but at the end of their turn you just have to threaten them...so if you somehow move during their turn but they don't...er...well, yeah.

2. Also, take Mageslayer.
