Exploit Adjustment [General]

Your skill at finding and exploiting opportunities is such that you can find openings in even the smallest movements.

Prerequisite: Int 13, Canny Opportunist, Combat Expertise.

Benefit: You may make an AoO against any opponent who moves from one square adjacent to you to another square adjacent to you.

Normal: Taking a 5-foot step does not provoke AoO.

Special: A fighter may select Exploit Adjustment as one of his fighter bonus feats.

03-25-07, 04:31 PM The Knight class should make this possible, since it makes all terrain count as difficult. I think the Thicket of Blades stance in Tome of Battle does, also, but I am not sure on that one.

03-26-07, 03:58 AM There is a Devoted spirit stance in Tome of Battle that lets you take AoO from 5ft steps. You could get this at level 10 with the "Martial stance" feat so long as you had picked up Martial Study (any devoted spirit move) at an earlier level.

One of our party has this combined with a glaive and combat reflexes and is having fun, way too much fun in fact...

03-26-07, 04:01 AM That feat wont help you if you use a glaive. Note how it says adjacent. Glaives do not threaten adjacent squares.

Damn, I'll have to go home and read that... My mate will be sobbing this Friday during the session when he finds that out. Unless of course he bribes me with beer then the DM never has to know ;)
