Death or glory...without the death?


Advice


I am looking to play a character with the poorly regarded feat, Death or Glory. Don't worry about telling me to choose something else instead of this feat; the rest of the build is so sub-optimized, there's no saving me ;).

What I am looking for are ways to chew up a foe's swift/immediate action, so that they cannot take advantage of the strike back against me per Death or Glory. Please no 3rd party or homebrew material. Doesn't have to be PFS legal, but must be Paizo.

I am open to hearing other ways to avoid the enemy's retaliatory strike, but am not interested in the reach/lunge/'other out of range options'. So far the best I have come up with is having Shatter Defenses & Disheartening Display & Violent Display and hoping to frighten the opponent before it can swing back. But now we're talking about 3 feats (+ their 2 prerequisite feats, Weapon Focus & Dazzling Display) to backup a largely situation feat.

Anyone have any bright ideas?


Combat stamina to gain a stamina pool.
Combat trick of Death or Glory to automatically negate the attack the enemy gets against you.
I think it's the best solution. Get a big weapon and use vital strike too. Or (plan two) get a super reach and negate the opponent the chance of striking back by simply not being where he can hit.
Aberrant bloodrager, lunge, fauchard and enlarge person it's a lot of reach.


These count on hitting the target -but if you have stunning fist and they fail their save they aren't attack back. There are a number of options in Hex Strike, Domain Strike etc. that will keep them from attack back if you hit and they fail their save.
