Aceon 05-18-07, 12:31 PM	Is there a non-epic feat that allows a character to gain more attacks of opportunity beyond that which is gained by combat reflexes? I am building an aoo fighter with consideration of these aoo feats: riposte, mobility, sidestep charge, deft opportunist, spectral skirmisher, close quarters fighting, karmic strike, elusive target ( cause overreach ), robilars gambit & sweeping strike. And some others I can't quite remember. The thing is, between Elusive Taget-cause overreach and Sweeping strike, I can envision situations where my high dex character could run out of aoo slots. So, without using epic feat: improved combat reflexes to gain unlimited aoo's...is there a feat or spell or item that will improve my number of aoo's? Like maybe a feat that adds intelligence or wisdom or charisma modifier to number of aoo's in a round? thanks in advance for any advice! :)

I made one for myself as I too am working on a character that will be using many AoO a round (luckily I rolled well and was able to place a 16 in dex). Peerless Reflexes You can respond to a greater number of enemies who show a lapse in defense. Prerequisites: Dex 15, Base attack bonus +6, Combat Reflexes Benefit: The number of additional attacks of opportunity you can perform in a round increases to two times your dexterity modifier.

The dex bonus would give you an extra 2 AoOs, so you could consider splashing 1 lv of barb. Not really what you are looking for, but there are a few feats you might find interesting in dragon 340. The first (I can't recall their names offhand) lets you make 2 attacks for an AoO, but the 2nd attack suffers a -5 to-hit penalty, and this uses up 2 AoO attempts. The 2nd feat (for which the 1st is a prereq) lets you make 3 attacks with each AoO, but it uses up 3 AoO attempts, and the 3rd attack suffers a further -5 to-hit penalty. So if you have karmic strike and robilar's gambit active, and someone attacks you, that is 6 attacks you can make back at him...:D Exploit adjustment lets you make an AoO on a foe who makes a 5-ft move. If you are willing to take 5 lvs of warmind for sweeping strike from XPH, you can use this in tandem with combat reflexes to make a ton of attacks on your foe. The trick is to designate the square you and your opponent are standing in (both must be adjacent to each other) and activate robilar's gambit. Thus, when you strike yourself, you get an extra AoO, which you use to attack your opponent and yourself again, which in turn re-activates robilar's gambit, and this cycle repeats for as many AoOs as you have (or infinite if you have epic combat reflexes). I chose gambit over karmic strike to prevent being screwed up by natural 1s. To ensure that you do not self-destruct, consider finding some way of making yourself immune to non-lethal damage and wield a merciful weapon, or use a weapon of wrathful healing.:) Pity epic combat reflexes is such a long way off...:(
