The Stormguard Warrior Tactical Feat

[landamus]

Stormguard Warrior from Tome of Battle allows for some sick attacks. Using the Channel the Storm part you can refrain from taking an AoO to get +4 to attack and +4 to damage rolls against that foe on your next round. Now combine this with Karmic Strike from Complete Warrior and they hit you more often. You are also recieving an AoO for each hit since you successively forego that attack. Add Robilar's Gambit (PHB II) which grants your foes a +4 attack and +4 damage bonus on you, but in turn they provoke AoO from you for each attack. Foregoing the AoO allows you to bypass the rule that you can only take one AoO on an opponent in a particular round.

There are other feats to add but those are the big ones and the prereqs for this will get steep.

Stormguard Warrior-Proficient with Iron Heart preferred weapon, Ironheart Aura, BAB +6, 2 Iron Heart manuevers
Ironheart Aura-1 Ironheart Stance
Karmic Strike-Dex 13, Combat Expertise, Dodge
Combat Expertise-Int 13
Dodge-Dex 13
Robilar's Gambit-Combat Reflexes, BAB +12
Combat Reflexes-none

So basically, 7 feats with and Int and Dex of 13. Also Ironheart is Warblade only otherwise it'd add more feats (4 more?). The other problem is taking all these hits, DR is probably not going to cut it. Investing in stoneskin may be needed. Also, getting enlarged and using a spiked chain would be very helpful. It's funny Stormguard Warrior does not require you to be using the preferred weapon. Defensive Sweep when large is good too. Power Attack is good and so is Two Weapon Fighting. But that's more feats and a constant money drain. I don't think I missed anything in the logic but tell me if I did.

There is no actually rule that you can't take two AoO againts one foe in a round thats 3.0
Say a wizard moves through your threatened area then casts a spell he provokes two attacks of opp for two diffierent actions thus you gain two AoO.
You can't make two AoO againts a foe for the same action that the rule now.
Thus if a creature moves through multiple of your threatened squares you only get one AoO. Say if a guy decided to run circles around my weretiger spiked chainer. I can only make one AoO for that type of action.

But if a foe provokes two attacks of opp for attacking you. You can only ever make one for that action. Thus you only have one AoO to forgo.
And so Karmic Strike and Robilar's Gambit don't function together so you might as well take one and leave the other. As you can only gain one AoO for there attack.

The power you describe is simply +4 to hit and damage for any foe you forgo making an AoO againts it doesn't stack with its self. Abilities NEVER EVER stack with themselves even when they are untyped bonuses unless it says otherwise.

10 feats if you decide to fore go any levels in warblade and just take the feat out of tome of battle that gives you a stance of your choice from any discipline and the feat that grants a single manuver twice. don't know whay anybody would do this when 1 level of warblade is enough for the manuver and stance prereqs but just thought I would contribute something

i cheaked with that nameless bonuses beacuse i have seen many things of that before, mainly talking about the truenamer because almost all of there bonuses that they can give are nameless. from what i gathered from the truenamer is that nameless bonuses always did stack with other nameless bonuses, but never from the same source.

so i went and found it on wizards

Unnamed Bonuses

A bonus that doesn't have a name stacks with anything except itself. This is always true, but it's sometimes hard to remember. For example, many feats provide unnamed bonuses, so don't panic when you read a feat description and it provides a bonus without a name. An unnamed bonus from a feat stacks with any other bonus; however you can't stack that unnamed bonus if you take the feat twice.

i still dont know if im right or wrong however. so im probbly not much help.
