Yeah, he says he gets 12 Attacks of Opportunity. So he has a Dex Mod of +11 and therefore a Dex of 32? How do you get more Attacks of Opportunity/Round except by Combat Reflexes? Or is he getting getting Attacks of Opportunity that also somehow get Bonus Attacks? Actually, come to think of it, I think I know of a way to do the latter.

Take like levels in Paladin in the Archetype that gives a Bonus Teamwork Feat + Tactician. Make your Bonus Feat Broken Wing Gambit, a very sensitive AoO Trigger. Between BWG and Tactician whenever any of you are attacked, all of you get Attacks of Opportunity.

Use a Halberd or Lucerne Hammer + Armor Spikes. Take Hamatula Strike. With every Attack with a Piercing Weapon, you get a Free Grapple. With Armor Spikes, with every Grapple you get your Armor Spike Damage, 1d6. If you have a Dex of 20, that's 12 Attacks of Opportunity/round, not counting all your allies' AoOs.


I actually went the way of the kitsune double life oracle. You do get 2 channel pools, so using them a lot is not an issue.

Half the aoos are likely from the animal companion. Some can be from fortuitous. So dex is likely much lower than the estimate for a single character.

My guess is 12 is not actually aoos but total attacks a round. The problem with a necro thread is te person will not likely respond.

Well, the best AOO build I can think of is a mounted half-elf reach hunter, using teamwork feats and high crit ranges to get upwards of 12 AOO's out of one AOO. All this combined with the fact that hunter has access to a bunch of stuff that boosts AOO's (Like paired oppurtunist, snake animal focus and outflank+pack flanking) means that most of those attacks will be hitting at around +25.
Sorry for the necro thread, but can I please see this AOO build?

For mounted-hunter chassis reach-AoO builds, half-orcs are probably still tops, due to Amplified Rage.

E.g.,

1. barbarian [Drunken Brute/Savage Technologist], FEAT(g)
2. (whatever else you want)

This is particularly gross in Mammoth Riders, as a move-action to swig an Enlarge potion at the beginning of combat means you're Large on a Huge mount, and both of you are raging for +8 to Str and Dex, and tag-teaming a gigantic pile of Teamwork feats with greater-(maneuver) gimmicks and Fortuitous weapons.

Ryze, I'm sorry... I don't want to be harsh, but your build isn't that amazing.

It only does a huge spike of damage (310) when a given lot of conditions are met, and is a weak contribution to the team any other time in battle (each time you hide, you don't help your teamates)

When only a part of those conditions are met, a simple sorcerer can do 600 damage, and is, the remaining of the time, a greater contributor to the team effort in battle.

He's a concept character mang, I'm not sure what this personal mission of yours is, but please stop dumping on my posts. I contribute plenty to my group.

Maurice Marshall (the Wraith) is missing his right hand (cut off at the fore-arm). And no one calls me Maurice except my mother (because she hates me and knows I hate my name :P), and I demand that I be addressed as Wraith by everyone else. I have a prosthetic attachment to my right arm that buckles at the elbow and around the bicep/triceps, and at the end of my nubbed forearm is a ring that my weapon can fit and slide through (to be either 5 or 10 ft). The weapon itself is a spiked aspergillum at the end of a chain, that I can pour acid, holy water, or my own special blend of alchemist's fire (I'm an alchemist by trade/hobby) that becomes sprayed on my enemies when I attack, and the other end of the chain is held by my left hand, and I can extend or retract the weapon as needed. I swing it around and try to cleave as many people as possible. I've learned to use my left hand only while performing the delicate task of alchemy.

My personal mission is to rid the world of werewolves (and all werecreatures), and I'm deeply prejudiced against them. My best friend (a fellow slayer) was killed by a werewolf, and during that same encounter, I was bitten at the wrist, and due to the quick reaction of another person present, he cut off my hand at the mid-forearm before the curse of lycanthropy could spread through my veins. My trait, Child of the Moon (+1 to +4 stealth based on lunar cycles) is a product of the lycanthropy that did afflict me during the early moments of the infection before my hand was severed, as some of the infection did corrupt me, but did not fully turn me to a lycanthrope.

Anywho, it's probably my third favorite character I've ever played. I do a ton of damage, and I wanted to do a DPR calc on hitting 5 targets. Thankfully, Grandlounge has pointed out that I need to figure it out properly by accounting for the miss chance and ending the Cleave attempt, and I'll attempt to figure that out. Avr recently taught me how to do DPR calcs, so I'm still new to it and trying to learn more.

When you have the calculations I will try to look over them again. GL
