To facilitate that discussion, here is a brief rundown of what they do -- full details in the PH2, pages 86-88.Combat FocusPrereq: Wis 13Benefit: 1st time you make a successful attack during an encounter, you gain your combat focus (CF). Can maintain it for 10 rds, +1 add'l rd per combat form feat you have other than this one. Can only gain CF once per encounter.While maintaining CF, +2 Will. If you have 3+ combat form feats, +4 Will.Combat Focus is the base feat. It and Wis 13 are pre-requisites for all of the others, with additional pre-reqs specified below.Here are the other combat form feats:Combat StabilityPrereq: BAB +3Benefit: +4 to resist bull rush, disarm, grapple, overrun, trip. [Note: this does not say "while maintaining CF".] If you have 3+ combat form feats, +8.Combat DefensePrereq: Dex 13, Dodge, BAB +6Benefit: While maintaining CF, can change Dodge target as immed action. If you have 3+ combat form feats, add'l +1 dodge bonus to AC vs. Dodge target.Combat VigorPrereq: BAB +9Benefit: While maintaining CF, fast healing 2. Lose this benefit when CF ends. If you have 3+ combat form feats, fast healing 4.Combat AwarenessPrereq: Blind-Fight, BAB +12Benefit: While maintaining CF, learn current hp of each adjacent foe & ally.

Immediately lose all benefits of combat form feats that affect you only while you are maintaining CF.</blockquote>
