As it's a Wisdom-based defense bonus, the Clerics Wisdom requirment and bonus to wisdom score all feed inot this maechanic.In d20M terms this is almost certainly a move equivalent action.Anticipate (Initiative Action)1 Half Action • Error Range +0The character may attempt to second-guess the action of 1 opponent. With a successful Sense Motive (Wis) check (DC 10 + the target’s base attack bonus), the character gains a dodge bonus to his Defense against attacks made by the chosen opponent equal to the character’s Wisdom modifier (minimum +1). This check possesses the Vision tag. This effect lasts for 1 full round.With a critical success, the chosen opponent’s threat range with each attack made against the character is reduced by the character’s Wisdom modifier (minimum 20). This effect lasts for 1 full round.With a critical failure, the character is thrown off-balance, becoming flat-footed.Special Note: A character may only benefit from 1 Anticipate action targeting each opponent at any time. If a character takes a second Anticipate action to boost his Defense against an opponent when a previous boost is still active, the new action’s outcome replaces that of the previous one — even if it’s worse.Glad you like the class - I had a great time putting together a revised version for Spycraft 2.0. The anticipate action let me really nail the feel for how Preston and co. operated in battle - they out-predict their foes <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" />.</blockquote>
