Feint in combination with Spring Attack?


Advice


Are there any options that allow a character to feint in combination with using Spring Attack?


The only thing I can think of is the feat Wave Strike, which lets you feint as a swift action. You can only do it once per combat and it would require a very specific order of actions to pull it off, so I don't think it's worth it. On your first turn in combat, you would have to move in with Spring Attack, draw your weapon as a free action with Quick Draw, make your bluff check to feint the enemy, make your one attack (and hopefully add your sneak attack), then use the rest of your movement to get away.

Why do you need Quick Draw feat? Any one draw weapon as part of move action if +1 BaB and you are clearly moving in example.


Read the prereqs for Wave Strike. I wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't necessary. You could also have the weapon expertise class feature instead.


Thanks, submit2me :)

Hmm, that does seem a bit feat-intensive for only being able to pull it off once per encounter.
