Class Def Bonus

[BluWolf]

I am incorporating the Class Def Bonus from Unearther Arcana into my game. It does not specify in the brief description whether or not you lose def bonus if you lose dex (i.e. flatfooted). It would stand to reason but does anyone know for sure??

Don't know about UA, but what I've been doing recently is counting BAB as a dodge bonus. That doesn't answer your question, but at least I love enough to respond.

It's a Defense bonus replacing the Armor bonus, you don't loose it when flat footed.

Thanks for clearing that up. Do they handle this the same way in Star Wars?

Here is the link to the article, since UA is open-source.

I would rule it in the same manner as the monk's wis mod to AC. You retain it while flat-footed, but lose it when disabled in some manner.
