Bold Strike + Greater Overrun + Scout


Advice


I'm just curious how you all think this would play out.

So a skulking slayer/scout uses charge-through to run over one baddy on the way to smack another. The overrun attempt knocks the first one prone which gives an attack of opportunity. Then the charge attack occurs on the second.

Now can skirmisher be used to get sneak attack damage on the first and scout's charge give sneak attack damage on the second? Or is there a way to get a sneak attack while using charge through?


Bold strike just modifies the damage your sneak attack does from d6 to d8.

Edit: Your title is abit confusing. I think your question is really:

Can you use the Scout archetype's abilities Skirmisher and Scout's Charge on the same turn by making an overrun attempt with Greater Overrun (thus gaining an AoO) to obtain two sneak attacks in a single turn?

I'm not certain, but I think the answer is yes. Bear in mind though, as a 15 BAB class and probably high dex low strength you're as likely to fail the combat maneuver as to make it. And remember in order to knock someone prone you must beat their CMD by 5.


Actually, the Skulking slayer focuses on 2h weapons, since those are the only ones that get the d8 on a charge, so it's probably a str build to be most effective.

Lol. You should take unarmed strike, combat reflexes, and vicious stomp to get 2 AoOs.


If you get elephant stomp too, can you get 3 attacks on the poor guy you just knocked down? can you get 4? Running up and stomping somebody to death is a great concept.


Just be aware, that those additional attacks of opportunity will not recieve sneak attack damage unless the enemy is flat-footed against you, flanked, or denied dex.

That could be a lot of fun out of a monk build. If you get a full attack use flurry, if not then run up and curb stomp them.


wait, wouldnt elephant stomp be terrible for that? it kills the overrun attempt (since it specifically ends the charge and you dont get overrun's prone thing to proc vicious stomp).

not to mention it's eating your full-round action for a simple unarmed strike (since charge is a full-round action).

Unless you moved 10 feet and are at least 8th level.

OP:Skirmisher applies to the charge as well, because you moved 10 feet as part of the charge.
