So no AoO for you . . . A quick Dimension Door or Teleport could easily put me outside of your reach.

Tripping might be more effective but again, Teleport (verbal only) on the defensive gets me out and away (and if there's full cover nearby, hidden)

Grapple? -- same deal.

Bullrush me over a cliff? -- Featherfall!

Ready a melee attack vs. spell? Full retreat (No AoO) -- you can't close and re-ready -- charge only or ranged weapons.

Ready a Ranged attack vs. spell? Move to full cover and cast.
