Instead of displacer beast, use a blink dog.  The blink dog will allow teleportation in his aura to his allies.  You use a move action to teleport away then charge, rinse and repeat.


  XXX
EXBP
  XXX

E=Enemy
B=Blink Dog
P=Pixie
X=Aura

You can't start off with this combo.  You move up with the blink dog into this set up, keeping an square between the blink dog and the enemy.  You charge from behind the blink dog, and attack.  When your turn shows up next, you teleport back two squares and then you charge again.  This set up allows the pixie to charge without getting boots of adept charging.

Does your game give away expertise as a bonus feat?




Yup!

Koshinuke, while this does allow me to charge the same enemy every round, I don't really get to take advantage of my lance's mounted bonus (another  [w] worth on a charge) and the combat advantage granting aura of my beast (for surprising charge), do I?

Against ranged targets, yes. The feat works for more than just ranged and adds concealment.

Don't use a blink dog if you want to ride it (plus, a nonmounted pixie can work it all out through careful exploitation of flight).

Being mounted is a big disadvantge since there is no way to gain protection from OAs when you charge.

Teeny Target doesn't even mention "concealment".

Ah, correct on that. I have a pixie warlock player and totally derped the concealment was coming from shadow step. My bad.

Well, if teeny target isn't required, I guess that frees up a feat spot. Maybe I should take White Lotus Riposte or or Killing Curse early?

Teeny target does, indeed, contain a redundant clause for ranged attacks, but it's still needed if you want cover versus melee.

Creatures and Cover: When you make a ranged attack against an enemy and other enemies are in the way, your target has cover. Your allies never grant cover to your enemies, and neither allies nor enemies give cover against melee, close, or area attacks.

I would tone it back some (unless you are in a super-optimized group) and at the same time save yourself the headache of a mount:

Lose the fey beast mount. Lose Teeny Target. Get Streak of Light

Optimizing without a mount will still work.

That's definitely an option, but wouldn't my defenses be too low? Going into melee range with a monster I just ticked off with a mere 15 ac sounds like it'd end with one crushed pixie.
