So I am building a Character for Skull and Shackles that I am starting soon and I realized I broke something when I was going through my abilities.
I am playing an Urban Barbarian flavored as a Duelist. He uses a Scimitar (which my GM gave my the go ahead to skin as a cutlass) and Dervish Dance. It isn't optimum but fun so I was looking at ways to increase his ability to Tank a bit. I am using the crane style to gain the parry abilities.
Thats when I stumbled on this:
At level 15 I will have Combat Patrol and Come and get me, combat reflexes as will as a 26 Dex (without magic). Here is the though. I set up combat patrol and come and get me. enemy provoke an attack 10 feet out so I move to hit him. I provoke from movement, so he attack, but I have come and get me so i hit first, then I deflect his attack (if it hits) and aoo him again (crane style). Finally I move and finish my aoo on the first guy. Then I do it again (minus the deflection) for the next aoo).
Is that right? Can I really just run around wacking everyone with impunity? Up to 9 or so hits a round?

Three issues with this.
First you MAY provoke when you move but it depends on the reach of your opponent and how you move (Usually a straight line to him won't provoke)
Second there is nothing saying the target HAS to attack you for moving up.
Finally Crane Wing only lets you deflect 1 attack per round, Crane Riposte does not remove that limitation.
If every thing works perfectly you can do this once a round.
For your specific case, there's also the issue that the Skull and Shackles AP looks like it'll be ending at 14th level.

OK was a little excited and not clear so not time for a clarification. 3 people on the battlefield and me. I use Combat Patrol and Come and get me. The guy 1 does something to provoke (like cast a spell) I move to take that AOO and pass guy 2 who takes his AOO. Do I get to make my AOO on#2, take the AOO from #2 and continue on to hit #1? If then number 3 provokes (by moving perhaps) and I move to hit him. #1 would get a AOO but I would hit him first then take the AOO and then hit number 3?
Admittedly I will never do this because it destroys the flow of combat but I wants to make sure I was right.
@Tem
It does?? wow I had no idea. That would be sad.
What you're talking about would work, but I wouldn't exactly call it "broken." It's a significant investment in feats and powers when, most of the time, you will end up doing less than if you had just taken a full-attack action to begin with.
