Dodge

[Paul_Klein]

Just a quick question:

Do you think having the Dodge feat simply add a +1 to a character's AC is overpowered? As the feat is, its sort of a pain in the butt to keep track of who you have the bonus against, especially in mass combat.

So not only would it simplify the feat, but also makes is more attractive.

But is it overpowered in your opinion?

Thanks!

The power of dodge comes in what feats you need it for. Also, since all dodge bonuses stack this would be a very good feat to aquire for anyone.

I doubt the change will make it too powerful, but it will make the feat much better then the average feat.

It wouldn't be too unbalancing, but as Crothian already noted, Dodge is intended as a prereq moreso than a feat unto itself.

we do the same, but I think I impose the +1 ac flat because of lazy-a$ DM syndrome...

I have it that Dodge gives +1 AC to the first attacker each round (unless declared otherwise) - saves having to declare each round and doesn't overpower it.
