Expertise and/or fighting defensively?

Psyduck · Oct 16, 2002

Is it possible to use both expertise and fighting defensively? The feat sorta implies you can't (listed under normal after the description of the feat), but dodge bonuses DO stack...

Yes, you can use them both at the same time.

was that in an FAQ somewhere? What about tumble and expertise?

It's in the FAQ. Check page 17 & 18.

Because Tumble skill rank also determine increase in dodge bonus for Fighting Defensively options (see skill description in PH), it can stack.
