Pathfinder 1E elude blows

[messy]

dm's: would you allow elude blows (from monte cook's book of experimental might) in your game?

elude blows allows a character to subtract a number from their damage rolls and add the same number to their armor class. presumably this would function mechanically like combat expertise and power attack (start at -1/+1 and increase at every 4 points of base attack bonus).

 

[The Crimson Binome]

Probably not. Off the top of my head, it would do odd things to the balance between heavy shields and greatswords.

It seems to be DR/whatever is how that is done in the game now, without doing so with odd mechanics that potentially causes problems elsewhere in the rules. No, I wouldn't allow its use in my home games.
