An expertise tactic

Dturner · 10-19-2002, 09:47 PM

Some of you who have been playing this game longer than I have probably already found this. Chokepoints, which I have seen complained about on this board, can be useful. I have a fighter, currently 4th level, with a straight AC bonus of 7, with the Dodge, Expertise (set for maximum), and Deflect Arrows feats. I can put him in a chokepoint with the other fighter just behind as a blocker and the shooters behind that one. When the first fighter is engaged, he can pretty well hold his own, though he does get a little roughed up. While the enemies are all gunning for him, the shooters wipe them out one by one. The other fighter is there in case someone gets by the bait and goes for the shooters.

This only works well if there if a place that is just wide enough for one or two to fit through. Anything bigger and open fields it doesn't work anywhere near as well.
