You are adept at dodging blows.
Prerequisite: Dex 13+
Benefit: During your action, you designate an opponent and receive a +1 dodge bonus to Armor Class against attacks from that opponent. You can select a new opponent at any time you could take a 5’ step. If you are fighting defensively the +1 dodge bonus applies to all foes fighting you, though you still must select one opponent for any feat for which dodge is a prerequisite. If you go on total defense you gain a +2 dodge bonus to your Armor Class against all opponents instead of a +1. Remember that dodge bonuses stack and any condition that causes you to lose your dexterity adjustment to armor class also causes the loss of dodge bonuses.
Note: Dodge is considered one of the weaker feats in the game though it is the prerequisite of many prestige classes and more powerful feats so making it a powerful feat could unbalance the game. The above change makes the dodge feat somewhat more useful, particularly when the character only desires to avoid getting hit. Other feats are included in this chapter that make the chosen opponent feature of the feat more significant.
