I'm making a bard/warlord for a level 6 PF gestalt (E6) game, and wondering if there are any easy ways to get a
reroll for initiative? I already have quite a good bonus, but I'd still like to ensure that if I happen to roll poorly it won't spell the end of me in a nasty fight...
As a second thing: I'd like to be able to use a reach weapon and a shield at the same time. (Or have reach... I guess I could use a wand of Enlarge Person, but that's another combat action required... It's E6, so Permanency is probably out of the question.) Solved this one! Iron Tortoise has the 3rd level Iron Tortoise Stance which increases your reach by 5' and lets you make another AoO per round!
Edit2: It looks like pathfinder Uncanny Dodge actually just flat makes you immune to being flat-footed, which means that you can always take an immediate action. I have several awesome counters from the Iron Tortoise discipline so I should be OK even if I lose initiative.
